    The document discusses engine breathing and exhaust systems for gas engines. It states that most engines consume 5 cubic feet of air per minute for every horsepower produced. It provides maximum intake air restrictions of 15 inches WC for various engine models. It also lists maximum back pressure specifications for different engine models and configurations, noting reductions in back pressure allowed per RPM and BMEP increases. The document discusses exhaust piping expansion and recommends using schedule 20 carbon steel or schedule 10 stainless steel piping.
