Exhaust Pipe

The exhaust pipe is the gas pipe at the engine of the car. When you start your engine, a tiny amount of fuel within the exhaust pipe turns into a mixture of gases and raw materials. The exhaust pipe is not supposed to have a smoke although the engine is working hard. One of the poisonous gases released out of the vehicle's exhaust pipe is carbon monoxide.

An exhaust system removes waste gas from an engine as well as from other combustion products. It allows the vehicle to run with minimum ambient noise, smoke and pollution. The car's smooth and effective running includes a well-maintained exhaust system.

The exhaust pipe acts as an entirely different pipe, as the exhaust flows from one location to another. It starts with an exhaust manifold flange, goes down to a special tube called a 'flex pipe' and then extends a new portion of the exhaust pipe from the flex pipe to the catalytic converter. This section of the pipe contains an oxygen sensor which allows the computer to analyze before cleaning the exhaust in the catalytic converter. Until the catalytic converter, another part of the exhaust pipe carries the clean exhaust to the muffler and the machine must check the gases in this portion of the pipe until it is cleaned with an oxygen sensor. The effectiveness of the catalytic converter(s) is calculated in this way. Eventually the muffler is mounted and the roar of the engine calms down. The tailpipe that filters down gas holds heat away from the rear of the vehicle that is connected to the muffler. This is a typical system and is designed in several parts.

The exhaust system commences in the engine's combustion chambers and finishes along the vehicle's base carriage with the clear tailpipe. Main components of the exhaust system include exhaust manifold, oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, resonators, exhaust ducts, mufflers, and tailpipes.
