A 4-cylinder exhaust manifold is a component in an internal combustion engine that collects exhaust gases from four individual cylinders and directs them into a single outlet, leading to the exhaust system. It is typically made of cast iron, stainless steel, or tubular steel and is designed to optimize exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and improve engine efficiency.
Key Features:
Four primary pipes: Each connected to an individual cylinder.
Merging collector: Where the four pipes combine into one or more outlets.
Mounting flanges: For attachment to the engine and exhaust system.
Material: Can be cast or fabricated, affecting durability and performance.
