Each component attached to your ride performs a variety of functions that are directly
related to the performance of your vehicle. One of these is the exhaust manifold.
The function of this exhaust system component may not be complex, but
your vehicle would definitely not perform properly without them. Exhaust manifolds
are a network of passages that routes the exhaust gases from the various exhaust
ports toward the mufflers and catalysts of the exhaust system. The number
and design of the exhaust manifolds depend on the cylinder heads to which they
are attached for efficiency in gathering exhausts from each of the individual
exhaust ports. A single exhaust manifold can be found on vehicles with linear engines.
On the other hand, v-shaped engines are equipped with two exhaust manifolds,
one mounted to each cylinder head.
Exhaust manifolds can be made
of tubular steel, lightweight aluminum or cast iron. A ticking, popping or
tapping sound can be heard as an indication of a leaking exhaust manifold. Do not
take this for granted, because a more serious damage to your vehicle would happen
if you do not find an immediate replacement for them. Visit our online site
and browse our online catalog for a view of our wide selection of exhaust manifolds.
