Most people assume a car exhaust system is only the length of the tailpipe. It’s an easy mistake to make, as this is the only part of the exhaust which is visible (the part right at the very end).
But actually, an exhaust system is made up of six different parts. The average length of an exhaust system is a large 3 meters.
Exhaust System Parts Names
The exhaust system parts names are as follows:
Exhaust Manifold
Oxygen Sensor
Catalytic Converter
Diesel Particulate Filter
Exhaust Pipe
Muffler
Each part has a very different purpose, and for an exhaust system to work correctly, all six parts must be functioning correctly.
