SUKABUMIUPDATE.com - The exhaust is a very important component in a car.This component is sometimes also called the 'exhaust system'.The exhaust function is to remove the residual smoke from the combustion chamber of the engine.The smoke from this combustion contains hazardous substances, one of which is carbon monoxide (CO) gas which is not good for health.Along with the development of the times, now the exhaust also functions as a tool to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions.In general, car exhaust has 6 main parts that have their respective functions.And here are the components on the car exhaust.The first exhaust component is the exhaust manifold which also acts as the exhaust head.The exhaust manifold functions to collect and expedite the flow of exhaust gases coming out of the cylinders of the car engine.The remaining combustion gases need to be removed so that the combustion chamber is always clean and ready for the next combustion process.This will happen repeatedly during the combustion process in the engine.This component sometimes leaks due to cracking of the exhaust manifold or because the fastening bolts between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe are loose.This leak will produce a noise.The noise produced depends on how big the leak is.The exhaust pipe (exhaust pipe) serves as a liaison between the exhaust manifold and other exhaust components, such as connecting the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter.In addition, this component also functions as a channel for exhaust gases to flow in the exhaust.The catalytic converter is a very important component in a car exhaust circuit because it acts as a filter.This component will filter out harmful substances contained in exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Hydrocarbons (HC).In this catalytic converter there are active substances such as palladium and platinum, these active substances are arranged together with ceramic cordierite.This active substance will react with harmful substances contained in the exhaust gas.So that the exhaust gases produced are not too harmful to human health.The problem that usually occurs with this component is the blockage of the catalytic converter by engine oil residue or combustion carbon which can affect engine performance.The resonator serves to muffle the sound of the explosion produced by the combustion process in the engine so that the sound produced tends to be quieter.This can provide comfort for users of the car itself.In addition, the resonator also functions to create back pressure in the exhaust gases.This back pressure plays a role so that the fuel in the combustion chamber is not pushed out completely so that the engine output power can be maintained.This component is usually located between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter.However, some are placed after the catalytic converter.The muffler is an exhaust component that has a role similar to a resonator, namely to muffle the sound produced by the combustion process.If an exhaust is not equipped with a muffler then the car exhaust will produce a noisy sound.So that not infrequently this can interfere with the comfort of other road users and the surrounding community through which the vehicle passes.Inside this muffler there is a bulkhead and a winding exhaust pipe, its function is to rotate the exhaust gas when it enters the muffler so that the sound produced can be muffled.This component has a characteristic that is shaped like a tube and is located at the back of the exhaust.The high temperature and pressure due to the combustion process will make the exhaust gases expand quite quickly and produce a loud sound.Sometimes this loud sound cannot be completely muffled by the resonator.The tailpipe is the last component in the exhaust circuit, this component is sometimes called the muffler tip.In this tailpipe exhaust gases will be released into the free air.In addition, this component serves to beautify the car, especially the exhaust.However, now there are several models of tailpipes that are designed to filter exhaust gases from engine combustion.Those are the parts contained in an exhaust.By knowing this part
