What is the place where the engine connects to the exhaust pipe called?
2 Answers
The place where the engine connects to the exhaust pipe is called the exhaust manifold. The exhaust manifold is connected to the engine cylinder block and collects the exhaust from each cylinder, directing it into the exhaust main pipe with branching pipelines. Its function is to minimize exhaust resistance and avoid interference between cylinders. The following are common faults related to car engines: 1. Starter damage: Including insufficient battery power, damaged circuit fuses, or broken starter wires, leading to engine ignition failure. 2. Unstable working speed: The engine speed is unstable during operation, with significant fluctuations, caused by gas leaks in the intake system, etc. 3. Slow speed change during rapid acceleration: The engine speed changes slowly when the car accelerates rapidly, due to reasons such as too low ignition voltage or delayed ignition timing.
I remember after driving for over a decade, the part where the engine connects to the exhaust pipe is usually called the exhaust manifold. It's a metal component directly mounted on the engine cylinder head, responsible for collecting exhaust gases from the cylinders and directing them into the exhaust pipe. I've seen many people overlook this part in repair shops. Once the gasket wears out or the seal isn't tight, the car will make a hissing sound from the leak, not to mention the increased noise and potential rise in fuel consumption. Over time, it can also cause the exhaust emissions to exceed standards, which is harmful to the environment. Last time my car had this issue, I used a simple method to check: after starting the engine, I sprayed some soapy water at the connection point. If bubbles appeared, it indicated a leak, and I had to quickly replace the gasket or tighten the bolts. Choosing durable materials like stainless steel can extend its lifespan for several years, avoiding frequent troubles.
