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

The engine exhaust gases flow through the manifold (1) to the turbocharger and then via a pipe (2) to the oxidizing 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 section of the exhaust consists of two silencers (5) and (6) connected to one another by a flange with a seal.Special guards limit the radiation of heat towards the bodyshell.The various components are supported by means of mountings (7) and circlips (8) fixed to the underbody.
