Metal Exhaust Component Material
Materials used for exhaust manifolds include cast iron and stainless steel.
An exhaust manifold collects gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Cracks in the exhaust manifold can lead to performance issues, leaks. Aftermarket exhaust manifolds can improve engine efficiency and power output significantly. Exhaust manifolds are subject to extreme heat, causing wear over time. The design of an exhaust manifold affects the engine's exhaust flow. Some exhaust manifolds integrate a catalytic converter to reduce emissions effectively. Replacing a damaged exhaust manifold helps in restoring vehicle fuel efficiency.
