The exhaust pipe of the Icon is located at the rear of the vehicle, featuring a hidden dual-exhaust design with two outlets on each side. Function of the exhaust pipe: It discharges the exhaust gases produced by the engine, reducing pressure. The dual-muffler system further reduces the noise of the exhaust gases to an acceptable level through two stages of silencing. It also filters the exhaust gases to minimize pollution. Structure of the exhaust pipe: The exhaust system typically consists of an exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, exhaust temperature sensor, muffler, and tailpipe. The primary purpose of the automotive exhaust system is to release the exhaust gases generated by the engine while minimizing pollution and noise.

I've been driving a Icon for three years, and the exhaust pipes are right under the rear bumper. If you squat down, you can see two round outlets on both sides. I just washed my car the other day and made sure to wipe that area. In summer, never touch them with your hands after driving—they get really hot. The exhaust pipe placement is quite reasonable with sufficient ground clearance; even when driving on rough roads back in my hometown, there's never been any scraping. During regular maintenance, check if the exhaust outlets have black carbon buildup—it helps monitor the engine's combustion condition. If you see blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, get your car repaired immediately. Also, remember to rinse the inside of the exhaust pipes when washing your car to extend their lifespan.

As a regular customer at car detailing shops, I've noticed that the Icon's exhaust pipes are cleverly hidden at the rear. Viewed directly from behind, they're concealed by the rear bumper, and you only get a clear view of the symmetrical dual exhaust when crouching down. This design avoids disrupting the car's silhouette with exposed pipes while maintaining a sporty feel. The exhaust pipes have an anti-rust coating, but in rainy areas, it's best to apply metal protective wax monthly. During a recent ceramic coating job for a client, I noticed the area around the exhaust pipes is particularly prone to mud splatter, so installing a small mudguard is recommended. When parking daily, avoid getting too close to curbs, as the exhaust tips can easily get dented or deformed from impacts.

Last month, I accompanied a friend to pick up a new Icon and specifically crawled under the car to inspect the exhaust pipes. They weren’t on the sides or centered at the bottom but were fixed at the rear, extending slightly from both the left and right sides. The mechanic mentioned that this layout helps balance exhaust pressure, making it smoother than a single-sided exhaust. Be cautious during cold starts in winter—stay away from the exhaust outlets, as condensed water can spray up to a meter away. Once, I touched the exhaust pipe bracket and noticed it was connected to the frame with rubber mounts, a design that reduces vibration noise. If you hear unusual noises from the exhaust pipe in the neighborhood, there’s an 80% chance the brackets have worn out.

After examining dozens of Icon exhaust pipes, I've noticed a distinctive feature: they're positioned approximately 30cm directly below the trunk, with symmetrical dual outlets. Car wash attendants find this area most troublesome to clean, requiring long-handled brushes to thoroughly remove carbon deposits. City drivers should pay attention to the exhaust pipe height - measurements show 18cm ground clearance when unloaded, reducing to 15cm when fully loaded, requiring slower speeds over speed bumps. The exhaust tips are angled downward by about 15 degrees, effectively preventing water ingress during rainy weather. If exhaust pipe corrosion is detected, prompt replacement is advised as rust-through could lead to exhaust fumes leaking into the cabin.

Every time I my dog in the neighborhood, I pass by my neighbor's Geely Icon, with its quite eye-catching dual stainless steel exhaust pipes. When crouching to look at the rear, the left one is the main exhaust pipe connected to the engine, while the right one is mainly decorative but can also exhaust. During the last heavy snow, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: the right exhaust pipe emitted heat slightly slower than the left. The auto repair shop owner said this design helps warm up the car faster in winter. During the rainy season, special attention should be paid to the muffler's position as it's prone to water accumulation; it's best to elevate the rear with bricks when parked for long periods. Also, when modifying the exhaust, never cut the original brackets, or the resonance noise can be unbearably loud.
