SERPENT SYSTEMS
For years motorcycle exhaust manufacturers have dreamed of creating the most perfectly sculptured headers and system pipework to maximize the gas dynamics and maintain the gas inertia to improve cylinder filling - creating the absolute maximum power available.
Now Micron has made that dream a reality
A combination of world renowned Ricardo Wave design software and our state of the art manufacturing facility has allowed us to refine the pressure wave action and gas particle flow. Beautifully sculptured and patented Micron Serpent headers with our exclusive "Serpent" headpipe shape reduce the energy losses and improve scavenge wave action. Result? Accelerated gas flow dynamics helping you to get the maximum horsepower available from your machine.
Need a simpler version? Take the extremely high speed gas particle flow of your exhaust as it leaves the exhaust port, and picture it entering the first bend in the exhaust header. By centrifugal force, all the gas is "pushed" to outside of the bend in the pipe, causing a vacuum, or "reversion", on the inside bend of the pipe in this same location. Much the same as watching a fast flowing river entering a bend, you can see the water working its way back "up river" at the inside of the bend, which is what is called negative flow. Through the use of the most sophisticated software and engineering in the world, we create the "Serpent" header design that virtually eliminates this negative flow, while still maintaining the pressure wave and velocity at almost a perfect level. The end result is a stronger pressure wave for scavenging and minimal loss of exhaust gas velocity, both of which translate to
MORE HORSEPOWER!
How are these pipes made? It should be obvious that this is a technology which is far beyond the average world of bending pipe so common in the industry today, and that is where Hydratech steps in…
HYDRATECH:
Hydra was a figure in Greek mythology with serpents gyrating out of her head - and so it is that Micron introduces Hydratech formed exhaust pipework. Created under an incredible 75,000 psi of water pressure and sculptured to deliver quite simply the fastest, smoothest and maximum power enhancing pipework sets ever seen - Hydratech pipes will very quickly become the mark of racers who will only accept the very best for their bike
By using water pressure to "mold" the pipes (as compared to simple bending), Micron is able to create virtually any shape, size or design our engineers can dream of. No longer are we limited by available pipe sizing, bend angles, or pipe placement when creating a header system. Serpent headers can use any and all possible avenues to maximize horsepower, including designs and shapes never before seen in the regular world of exhaust systems.
Add to this the benefit that since the pipes are molded with the correct sizes and tapers wherever we choose built right into the pipe, we require almost no welds and are therefore able to minimize the material being used for the pipes, making for some of the lightest and yet most durable headers ever produced.
Competitors who have to "weld" pieces and parts into place need thick material to help the welds hold, and this increases the weight of their systems. Micron Serpent headers not only are the highest performance available, they also are some of the lightest and most beautifully engineered products ever seen in the manufacturing world.
The Ultimate pipework sets in the world today
Up to 40% lighter than conventional pipework
Up to 8% more gas flow, capacity & speed
Fewer unsightly and power robbing welds & joints
Sleek , fast & durable sculptured look
A world first from a world class manufacturer
The exclusive and patented Micron Serpent headers are available on a very limited basis for a handful of the finest high performance machines, please contact us for updates on availability and options.
@Speedy Understood. tbh this is a bit of an R+D thing for me. I'm not actually banking on it making much difference. You piqued my interest.
