    The exhaust system carries burnt gases away from the engine through components like the manifold, catalytic converter, muffler and tail pipe. It collects exhaust from each cylinder and channels it through one pipe. Manifolds are usually made of cast iron but headers are designed for maximum performance by preventing back pressure. The exhaust system also includes emission control devices like catalytic converters and components that control noise pollution like mufflers and silencers.

    The document discusses the various parts that make up an automobile exhaust system, including manifolds, headers, catalytic converters, mufflers, and tail pipes.

    The main components of an exhaust system include the manifold, header, turbocharger, catalytic converter, muffler, and tail pipe.

    A manifold collects exhaust from multiple cylinders into one pipe, while a header is designed for performance cars to prevent back pressure and has ports of equal length.

    Parts of Exhaust Systems

    ●
    The exhaust system is an important
    part of your vehicle, carrying burnt
    gases away from the engine.
    ● The gases may flow through a header,
    exhaust manifold, turbocharger,
    catalytic converter, muffler and/or
    silencer, depending on the design and
    function of the specific exhaust system.
    ●
    These systems are used on cars,
    trucks, motorcycles, two-stroke
    engines, and even marine engines.
    ● In vehicles, the manifold is an assembly
    created to collect and channel the
    exhaust from two or more cylinders
    through one pipe. We are dealing with
    utah tires, experts in automobiles
    ● Manifolds are usually made of cast iron.
    Some offer features like compact design,
    reduced-weight metal, or inexpensive
    production, but these features can
    reduce the effectiveness of the manifold
    in removing the exhaust from the
    engine.
    ● A header is a special kind of manifold
    that placed in performance cars. Instead
    of worrying about cost or weight, the
    engineers create a manifold designed for
    maximum performance.
    ● Standard manifolds may cause back
    pressure due to the cylinders firing at
    different times; headers are designed to
    prevent this with circular exhaust ports
    of equal lengths from each cylinder.
    ● Headers are usually purchased as an
    after-market addition to lend greater
    performance to the vehicle. But with
    that comes the need to replace the
    original exhaust system.
    Turbochargers, or turbos, are driven by
    the engine’s exhaust system. They force
    induction, causing more air and fuel to
    pump into the combustion chamber with a
    turbine.
    ● This creates more power for the engine
    (although it is certainly not meant for
    fuel efficiency). The turbo-back is the
    part of the exhaust system that runs
    from the turbocharger to the open air
    vent.
    ●
    Catalytic converters are designed
    to control emissions.
    ● Pollution is reduced by passing the
    toxic exhaust gases through the
    catalytic converter, which uses a
    catalyzed chemical reaction to
    neutralize many of these toxins,
    making the exhaust less toxic.
    ● Most of today’s vehicles have a three-
    way converter to reduce unburned
    hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and
    carbon monoxide.
    ●
    The muffler and silencer are used to not only
    control sound pollution, but also improve
    fuel efficiency.
    ● Finally, the tail pipe, or exhaust pipe, is the last
    part of the exhaust system. In most cars, the
    tail pipe is used to send the exhaust out from
    behind and beneath the vehicle.
    ● In many trucks, the tail pipe comes out the side
    in the back. In others, there is a vertical exhaust
    pipe just behind the cab.
