Exhaust Tina Smith NGK Spark Plugs

Why is the Exhaust System Important • Controls emissions and exhaust produced by the engine • Turns harmful pollutants into harmless ones • Reduces loud noises produced from engine combustion • Ensures vehicle is running fuel efficient

Exhaust Components

Exhaust Components Exhaust Manifolds Muffler Exhaust Pipe Catalytic Converter

Exhaust Components PCV Valve Oxygen Sensor EGR Valve

Exhaust Components • Exhaust Manifold – is attached to the engine and vents exhaust gas from engine cylinders • Exhaust Pipes – pipes that connect the entire exhaust system together • Catalytic Convertor – converts harmful emissions into safer ones • Muffler- acts as a silencer to reduce extremely loud noises • Resonator- extra silencer in the exhaust to reduce noise

Exhaust Components- Sensors • Oxygen Sensor- reads oxygen levels in the exhaust and sends signal back to control module • PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve - valve that controls the release of crankcase gases and vapors into the intake manifold • EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve- valve used to recirculate some of the exhaust back into the cylinders to reduce combustion temperature and provide a complete burn of the fuel
