Exhaust Manifold - The Incomplete Assembly of an IC Engine

An exhaust manifold is a component of an IC engine that collects exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders and channels them into a single pipe, which then leads to the exhaust system. It plays a critical role in the engine's operation and efficiency.
Purpose of an Exhaust Manifold:

Gas Collection: Collects exhaust gases from each cylinder of the engine.
Gas Routing: Directs these gases to the catalytic converter or exhaust pipe.
Efficiency: Reduces backpressure, ensuring the engine runs efficiently.
Heat Management: Absorbs and dissipates heat from the exhaust gases to prevent overheating.
