1. Introduction
An exhaust system is usually tubing used to guide
reaction exhaust gases away from a
controlled combustion inside an engine . The entire system
conveys burnt gases from the engine and includes one or
more exhaust pipes.
Depending on the overall system design, the exhaust gas
may flow through one or more of :
Cylinder head and exhaust manifold
A turbocharger to increase engine power.
A catalytic converter to reduce air pollution.
A muffler / silencer to reduce noise.
IMPORTANT PARTS:
1. CYLINDER HEAD: In an IC engine, the cylinder head sits
above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block . It consists
of a platform containing part of the combustion
chamber (usually, though not always), and the location of
the poppet valves and spark plugs.
.
2. EXHAUST MANIFOLD: Exhaust manifolds are generally
simple cast iron or stainless steel units which collect engine
exhaust from multiple cylinders and deliver it to the exhaust
pipe.
There are two basic types of exhaust manifold:
The log style manifold gets its name from the fact that it
consists of a single, larger diameter pipe into which very
short primaries merge one after another at abrupt angles,
kind of like the primaries are going into a log. The color of
manifold gets darker to the left because that part of the
manifold experiences four exhaust pulses (one per cylinder)
for each engine cycle whereas the other end experiences
one pulse for each engine cycle from the very last runner.
The side that experiences more pulses tends to have
durability issues.

KEY CONCEPT:
Though it might seem inefficient to have a ton of pipes instead of
just one, those segments serve a purpose.
