What’s the job of a car exhaust system? Your car exhaust system does three jobs. Reduces harmful emissions. Reduces the noise created by your engine. Routes the exhaust gas to the rear of your vehicle.
Your automotive exhaust system should always be kept in a good working condition for many reasons.
What components are used in an exhaust system?
The AIR (Air Injection Reaction) system and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system are part of the exhaust and emission control systems. The exhaust manifold(s) provide a pathway for exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinder head exhaust ports. The exhaust pipes convey the exhaust to the rear of the vehicle. There are single exhaust systems that have one pipe and dual exhaust systems that have two. V6 and V8 engines have dual exhaust or can have single exhaust by utilizing a crossover pipe that connects the exhaust from both banks and channels it into one pipe.
What goes wrong with car exhaust?
Car exhaust systems are exposed to extremely harsh conditions because they’re located under the vehicle. So they encounter road salt, snow, ice and road obstructions. Impacts can damage the expensive catalytic converter and muffler and weaken partially rusted pipes.
