In the midst of various attempts to achieve carbon neutrality around the world,
exhaust gas purification is also becoming essential in the motor sports scene,
where extreme performance is demanded.
JAF competition vehicle regulations also require the installation of the catalyzer for “Race” categorized vehicles from 2010,
and for “Speed competition” categorized vehicles from 2013 in all classes.
HKS has been supplying catalysts for motorsports since 2011.
Our catalyzer has been developed in various categories such as racing, drifting, dirt trial and so on.
If you have any questions about motorsports catalyzer, please contact an authorized HKS dealers.

Product Use Example
All Japan Super Formula Lights Championship
The Super Formula Lights Championship kicked off in 2020 as the successor category of the Japanese F3 Championship, which had a history of more than 40 years.
From 2024, all cars are powered by the TGE33 engine developed by TOM’S INC. as the one-make engine, making it a purely one-make category, including chassis, engine and tires. Carrying along the quick and light characteristics of the F3 cars from the previous era, the championship requires high skill in addition to drive fast, making it the ideal gateway for young drivers to get a seat of the top categories in Japan, such as Super Formula or SUPER GT500, as well as the top international categories.
Formula Regional Japanese Championship
A new formula series being held from 2020 as an intermediate category between FIA F3 and FIA F4. This is a one-make race using DOME F111/3 Formula car in accordance with the latest regulations set by the FIA, and drivers who have earned 40 or more Super License points in their best three seasons, including 2020, are eligible to be issued a Super License.
INTER PROTO SERIES
In this series, one car is shared by two drivers: a professional driver who competes in Super Formula or SUPER GT (GT500), and a gentleman driver who is a car owner or has other main jobs while competing as an amateur driver. The specially designed racing car "kuruma" is not equipped with any driver support systems such as ABS or traction control system and is designed to bring the "battle of the drivers" to focus attention. We have been supplying catalysts to this series since its establishment in 2013.
Details
TYPE: Racing Metal Catalyzer
■High inflow and durability
Higher durability is achieved without the use of brazing, which is a common metal catalyst and can cause melting.
The large flow opening area allows for extremely low exhaust pressure.
Outer diameter: φ113 / Overall length: 60mm
※Multiple adapters are available to fit different exhaust pipe diameters.
TYPE: Cell Type
■Achieve both low exhaust pressure and low cost
It has the same cell-type structure as a typical metal catalyzer, but with a lower density to obtain the large flow opening area, which allows for lower exhaust pressure.
Outer diameter: φ113 / Overall length: 50mm / Cell density: 50 cpsi
※Multiple adapters are available to fit different exhaust pipe diameters.
