• Exhaust back pressure must meet the required specification. (See Exhaust Back
Pressure Test)
Models Exhaust Back Pressure
All gasoline powered engines
1 psi (7 kPa) Minimum
2 psi (14 kPa) Optimal
11 psi (76 kPa) Maximum
IMPORTANT: Exhaust collectors must drain sufficiently during engine shutdown and idle
to provide the drainage necessary for these operational conditions. Use the following
specifications when designing the collector.
Collector Inlet and Outlet Specifications
1. The inlet hose for the collector must be placed above and within 180° of the horizontal
centerline of the collector.
2. The outlet hose of the collector must be placed below the horizontal centerline of the
collector and within 90° of the vertical centerline of the collector.
