HKS 3304-ST010 - Super Header Type-II

HKS Exhaust technology, which is know-how of long time development, targets to pull out 100% engine performance with the exhaust manifold. A lot of different approach were tried for each vehicle to keep performance for middle rpm range and to improve horsepower at high RPM.

Reduced pressure with Bypass Pipe (Racing Header)
When strong vacuum is created, to the contrary, there will also be strong pressure. Cylinder pipes are connected with Bypass Pipe to reduce pressure as minimum as possible. Rhythm of “Pressure” and “Vacuum” inside manifold is controlled.

Besides, number of bypass pipe, positions are designed to optimize for each engine characteristics. It enables to reduce pressure without change of vacuum. Therefore, there is no drop of torque as shown in the graph below. The engine will have Inertia Exhaust Gas Efficiency (Efficiency to increase horsepower of NA engine) and flat torque characteristics, which enables easy drivability.
