EXHAUST SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Exhaust Manifold Sub-assembly


      1. A stainless steel exhaust manifold with an integrated Three-Way Catalytic converter (TWC) is used for warm-up of the TWC and for weight reduction.

    2. Exhaust Pipe


      1. The exhaust pipes are made of stainless steel for improved rust resistance.

      2. A thin-wall, ceramic type TWC is used.

      3. A tail exhaust pipe assembly is used to ensure engine performance and reduce exhaust noise.

      4. A ball joint is used to join the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly, and another ball joint is used to join the center exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly. As a result, in-vehicle sound has been muffled, vibration has been minimized, and weight reduction has been realized.

    3. Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle


      1. A special tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly has been adopted.

      2. Clearance between each bolt of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly and each bolt hole of the bracket makes it possible to adjust the installation angle of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly.
