The exhaust manifold is a crucial part of the car’s exhaust system. It is responsible for collecting the exhaust gases from the cylinders and directing them into the catalytic converter. The exhaust manifold also plays an important role in the car’s performance, as it can affect the engine’s ability to breathe. A good exhaust manifold will allow the engine to expel the exhaust gases more efficiently, resulting in better performance. There are a number of different designs of exhaust manifold, and the choice of design will depend on the engine type and application.
