An 8" ATI converter is an all new converter, it is not built on used cores. The stator is not billet, but it is a new casting, ATI bought the original tooling, and then changed the design to remove the sharp corner between the stator fin and the ID and OD of the stator. The ATI stator has fillet radius joints, to prevent fin breakage. The advantage to the ATI stator is the shape of the fins, which are curved and shaped like an aircraft wing or propellor blade.
