How does an exhaust system work?
A vehicle’s exhaust emission system begins just behind the engine. Exhaust manifolds join with the cylinder heads to collect exhaust gases. Some of the hazardous gases that the exhaust system collects include:
- Carbon Dioxide
- Sulfur Dioxide
- Hydrocarbons
- Carbon Monoxide
- Nitrogen Oxides
- Phosphorus
These gases travel through the exhaust system and are first analyzed by oxygen sensors, then refined by the catalytic converter and then silenced by the muffler. At the end of the system, when the gases exit the vehicle, the exhaust system has made the vehicle run more efficiently and quietly.
