The Exhaust System

Function

A vehicle’s exhaust system performs a few different crucial functions. The exhaust collects gases from the engine, removes harmful substances, reduces noise, and releases a purified gaseous byproduct. The type and size of engine can determine how many channels comprise the exhaust system specific to that engine. An important factor to consider in an exhaust, is the flow resistance. This flow resistance needs to be adjusted so that the exhaust system has the smallest possible effect on engine performance.

Structure

Modern exhaust systems consist of an exhaust manifold, a purification system, and pipes in the front connecting them to the silencer and the rear section of the system. The number of component parts varies based on the engine itself, its performance, and emission laws. The system must be connected to the floor pan. Flexible mounting elements help keep the system in place on the bottom of the vehicle. Read more about exhaust systems from this page mycardictionary.com.

Rugged Durability

The exhaust system is under constant bombardment. The elements, debris, and the natural rattle of the vehicle itself are reason enough to ensure that the system is constructed of durable materials. Internal corrosion caused by hot gases and acid is a factor that must be considered as well. Also, its function requires that the system is exposed to gases that heat up to 2,400 degrees Celsius which expand, then travel down the system at supersonic speeds.

Noise Reduction

Noise reduction is an extremely important part of an exhaust system’s function. A silencer is a component of the system which regulates the sounds coming from the engine. The cylinders are constantly firing, causing the emission of the gases trapped within them.  Typically both absorption and reflection are used within each silencer to reduce the sound of those gases leaving the engine at tremendous speeds.
