'Automobile Exhaust Pipes'

• An exhaust pipe, or tail pipe, is usually tubing used to guide waste exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine
• The exhaust gas may flow through one or more of: A turbocharger to increase engine power, a catalytic converter to reduce air pollution, or a muffler to reduce noise
• Design criteria: An exhaust pipe must be carefully designed to carry toxic and or noxious gases away from the users of the machine
• Terminology:
  • Manifold or header: The manifold is an assembly designed to collect the exhaust gas from two or more cylinders into one pipe
  • A header: is another name for a manifold, specifically a manifold designed for performance
  • Headers are generally made by aftermarket automotive companies, but sometimes can be bought from the high performance parts department at car dealerships
  • Header-back: Header back is to the part of the exhaust system from the outlet of the header to the final vent to open air, i.e., everything from the header back.
  • Header-back systems are generally produced as aftermarket performance systems for cars without turbochargers
• The end of the final length of exhaust pipe where it vents to open air, generally the only visible part, often ends with just a straight or angled cut, but may include a fancy tip
