Exhaust System

Exhaust System

The exhaust system consists of:

- a one-piece catalytic converter manifold with exhaust flexible pipe.

- a resonator.

- a muffler and tailpipe assembly with isolators.

The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases through the catalytic converter, a muffler and tailpipe assembly and resonator. Rubber exhaust hanger isolators attach the exhaust system to the mounting hooks on the body.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emission control system by functioning as a gas reactor. The catalytic converter speeds up the heat producing chemical reaction between the components of the exhaust gases to reduce air pollutants. Due to the high temperatures at which the catalytic converter operates, the vehicle body areas around the catalytic converter are protected by heat shields. The catalytic converter controls Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions.
