Blows air into the exhaust manifolds during warm up to help the catalytic converters warm up more quickly.

I can't say my Senator sounded better or performend any better when the cats were sat in the shed & my stainless de-cat pipes were fitted. It was a lot easier to fit/remove on that cat though.  Thumbs Up!  Thumbs Up!  Thumbs Up!
