Exhaust Pipe Description

The exhaust pipe carries exhaust gases treated by the three-way catalytic converter through a resonator and into the exhaust muffler. As exhaust gases travel through the resonator and muffler baffles, exhaust noise is lessened. The exhaust system exits at the rear of the vehicle to reduce exhaust noise and eliminate fumes from entry into the vehicle. Exhaust system hangers and insulators support the weight of the exhaust pipe, the resonator, and the muffler. The exhaust system hangers also space the exhaust system away from the underbody of the vehicle and allow the exhaust system to expand as the exhaust system warms up.
