3315477 - Introduction - EXHAUST PIPES AND SILENCERS (Automatic transmission)

The engine's exhaust gases flow into two double (steel) manifolds (1) and then through two exhaust pipes (2) to the three-way catalytic converter (3) (  See subassembly 1080   EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM ). At the front of the exhaust pipe, there is a flexible component (4) for limiting the transmission of vibrations.The rear exhaust section comprises two silencers (5).Special guards limit the radiation of heat towards the body shell.The various components are supported by mountings and rubber rings secured to the underbody.
