Too Afraid to Ask

Exhaust manifolds gather the hot gases from each engine cylinder and send them together into one pipe that exits the car. They’re made of metal and sit right behind the engine.

Exhaust manifolds are metal components that collect exhaust gases from multiple cylinders and channel them into the single exhaust pipe. They are a key part of a vehicle’s engine‑exhaust system.
