anjoO, please excuse those youngsters on here with a short fuse

you did explain that you didn't know much.. remember we all start here nowing nothing, but hanging around and reading/posting is what makes you learn. please don't take any posts to heart newbie

i'll try to explain it easily for you:

combustion happens in the cylinders - a chemical reaction occurs between the air and fuel and this creates exhaust gas.

where does this exhaust gas go? well it has to get out of the cylinders so that more air and fuel can get in. there are valves at the top of cylinders that open up and the exhaust gas leaves. it flows through an exhaust manifold, and over the exhaust wheel of the turbo

(the turbo is basically a long pole with a wheel at each end - one end sticks into the exhaust gas and one end sticks into the intake air)

so gas flows over the exhaust wheel and is now into what most would call the exhaust. so you've passed the turbo now, everything from here is "turbo-back"

gas is still up at the engine, just having passed over hte exhaust wheel of the turbo, and it is into the next pipe which is the dump pipe. this is a short piece of pipe that connects to the front pipe

the front pipe runs down under the car and bolts onto a catalytic converter. now i know you've heard of this device.. if not, its a container filled with chemicals that lets exhaust gas through it and reacts with the gas to remove any nasties

after flowing through the cat you are now in what is termed "cat-back" which is simply a pipe that goes to the back of the car. you might find a resonator or somewhere here to make the car less droney, but you will definately find a muffler at the end to damp down the sound

so, to summarise: (this shows the names of the pipes that the exhaust gas flows through to get out)

cylinder --> exhaust manifold --> turbo --> dump pipe --> front pipe --> cat --> cat-back

hope that helps :laugh:

well described waz, but i think that it would be a good suggestion that anjoO learn to search the forums in more detail rather than posting 5 new threads a day that there is plenty of information on.

Just suggesting nicely...

Maybe he should have asked the question in this thread "Exactly What Makes Up A Turbo Back" in his other 4 he made about exhausts...

Recommended Exhaust Shops?

Turbo Back Vs Cat Back

Time For A Exhaust

Brand New Blitz 3" Nur Spec Cat Back

I know you only learn by asking/reading, but maybe try and merge some questions into the one thread rather than starting a new thread each time.

Cheers.

hey dude.

i dont think you deserve a flaming HOWEVER! i suggest otherways of learing stuff about cars ie:

a: use the search button. (but i struggle with that too)

b: car mags, theyre fantastic they have all a man could need (cars, ladies etc)

c: www.howstuffworks.com has many useful articles on cars. look into it.

d: browsing the forum is good to pick up on things too.

cheers :D . james.

Nah man no need to keep it to a minimum..

Before Posting these questions, just search.. Just type in random stuff related to exhausts. Then go thru each link that popped up. Read thru it. learn from it.

Then if you are still stuck then post.

So best to search for threads before posting.

We all started from nothing, but best to learn from asking also your friends also, or read some threads related to it, or car mags etc etc.

Then if you are still stuck ask away...

Wel all dont know everything, except for Sk.. but hes different. hahaha..

But all the best..
