How Many Sections Does an Exhaust Pipe Have?

[JosephLynn]

The exhaust pipe consists of 3 sections: the front pipe (header), mid pipe, and tail pipe. The front pipe is the exhaust manifold, the mid pipe is the relatively long tube running along the chassis, and the tail pipe is the section near the rear bumper. The exhaust pipe serves as a device to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. It is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. The exhaust pipe structure features a double-layer corrugated tube covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings on both straight end sections. To enhance noise reduction, the corrugated tube may contain expansion joints or mesh sleeves internally. The main material of the exhaust pipe is stainless steel, while the clamps and connecting pipes can be made of either stainless steel or aluminized steel.
