SCAVENGER EXHAUST SYSTEM

Patented Gern Pipe

The Gern-Pipe is a patented exhaust design, which has been licensed by URGE Designs. The Gern-Pipe’s key design feature is an Expansion Chamber that provides enhanced scavenging benefits similar to those seen with 2 cycle motors.  The size, shape and placement of the expansion chamber is tuned to improve the F20/22C notorious torque deficiencies between 3500 to 6000 RPMs.  We believe in full transparency with each and every product we sell – we stand behind the fact that if any of our products do not meet our strict performance and reliability criteria, we will not sell it.  While others like to provide inflated numbers by taking an untuned dyno, changing a part with. a retune to brag about “gains”.  Unfortunetly, this is a common practice that we will NEVER follow.  We only provide tuned vs tuned numbers – the stricter the controls in testing the more accurate the results.  Without those controls, dyno numbers are useless.

That said, the Gern-Pipe has the potential to provide 5-25 ft-lbs of torque gains compared to the stock exhaust system and 5-12 ft-lbs compared to test pipe and tune.  The development of this system was extensive, we wen’t through multiple designs until we achieved reproducible, tuned vs tuned, performance.

Gern Pipe vs Test Pipe vs Stock

All Gern-Pipes have integrated high flow catalytic (HFC) converters to reduce emissions and improve sound characteristics.   Dyno testing has shown that there is no measurable benefit in torque or power by removing the integrated HFC.  The dyno results shown above were made with the HFC installed in the Gern-Pipe.   Therefore, URGE designs has chosen to include a catalytic converter in all of our Gern-Pipes to promote environmental responsibility. We believe this will be a growing trend in the future, since racing series such as Super GT and Endurance Racing require catalytic converters.   Note, this system is not OBII emissions legal.

Reduced Drone Acoustics

A notorious issue with most aftermarket S2000 exhaust is annoying mid-range drone.  A side benefit of the Gern Pipe’s scavenging pulses is it acoustically reflecting the sound in that 3500-6000 RPM range which significantly reduces drone at those typical highway cruising speeds.

Customer Exhaust Options

The core magic of the Scavenger exhaust system is the patented Gernpipe and thus the muffler and exhaust system is not critical to the extreme mid-range gains.  Thus, you have the option of how you want to complete your set up.

  1. Integrate into your current exhaust system into the Gernpipe
  2. Building your own exhaust system
  3. Choosing URGE turnkey Dual or Single Exhaust systems

halo stroker kit

The URGE designs Halo Stroker kit is the result of a 4-year journey towards part optimization, aimed at preserving the original AP1 9000 RPM redline and S2000 high RPM ethos while extending the stroke to eliminate the F20C mid-range deficiency. The exceptional weight reduction we accomplished helps reduce vibration, crankshaft forces, and bearing pressures compared to the F20C 84mm short stroke. As a result of the lightweight approach, the Halo stroker kit is specifically designed for Normally Aspirated applications.

Bumpstix camshafts

As part of our commitment to achieving our design objectives, URGE adopts an iterative approach that ensures the project meets our high standards. During this process, we subjected numerous material suppliers, camshaft designers, and manufacturers to rigorous vetting to ensure they shared our vision of quality and performance.

We conducted a series of measurements, dyno tests, and quality inspections on dozens of camshafts to identify and address common issues such as porous metal casting, high-stress lobe profiles, inaccurate timing, and other deficiencies that can arise when corners are cut. This rigorous vetting process ensures that we deliver camshafts that meet or exceed industry standards, providing optimal performance and durability.

flow rear rotors

URGE Flow Rotors are an exceptional 2-piece vented rotor upgrade for the rear of your S2000 vehicle. These rotors offer significant cooling benefits over the solid rear OEM S2000 rotors, resulting in weight savings and prolonged life of your rear hubs. The rear rotors increased thermal capacity provides less fade and an increase in front rotor and pad life. With a potential reduction of 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit in front brake temps on track with a rear rotor upgrade, URGE Flow Rotors offer an undeniable benefit to your vehicle's braking system. Additionally, the brake bias remains the same, ensuring consistent and reliable performance!
