exhaust manifold
Think of it as a funnel that gathers all the engine’s exhaust gases and sends them out through the tailpipe. It sits on top of the engine.
The exhaust manifold is a component that collects hot gases from the engine’s cylinders and directs them into the exhaust system. It is typically made of cast iron or steel and sits directly on top of the engine block.
