The Exhaust And Its Components
Explained?
​​
Exhaust Manifold

Exhaust Manifold – The exhaust manifold draws exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders and discharges them into the exhaust pipe. It is almost always made of either cast iron or stainless steel.

Oxygen Sensors (O2 Sensors)

Oxygen Sensors Oxygen sensors are used to measure the level of oxygen in the exhaust gas. The ECM uses this information to adjust the air/fuel mixture for best combustion.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter is important for removing pollutants. It helps convert pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons to less-harmful gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Muffler

The purpose of the muffler is to help quiet the flow if exhaust gases from your engine, and this means reducing the sound. It makes use of different chambers and baffles to quiet it.

Resonator

Typically, used in combination with the muffler, resonator further lowers noise and enhances of quality of sound for the exhaust system.

Exhaust Pipes

The exhaust pipes link all parts of the exhaust system and carry the gas from the engine out to the tailpipe where it exits into the air.

Tailpipe

The last part of the exhaust system, is the tailpipe which allows gases to escape once they have passed through the muffler. It’s typically situated at the back of a car.

All of these parts are vital in keeping your car running to maximum efficiency and up to par with emissions.
