Jeep Exhaust System - a Tough, But Clean Performer

By: Kimberly Baker

A sport utility vehicle that delivers unbridled all-wheel drive performance demands a slew of sturdy and rugged parts. Abused and battered by the most harsh terrains, SUV's depend heavily on these parts to withstand constant punishment. Chrysler's all-terrain vehicle manufacturer, Jeep, strives to produce the nastiest all-wheel drive automobiles. Designed to conquer all kinds of road surfaces, all Jeep vehicles are equipped with performance parts tough enough and tuned to their owners demands.

With the recent issues on environmental hazards posed by fossil fuel combustion, the creators and designers of Jeep know they have to undertake a Herculean task to produce a tough, but clean performance. Using an internal combustion engine may cause the release of significant amount of harmful gases by the Jeep Exhaust. Because of this, the creators and designers have endeavored to keep the Jeep exhaust system and engine environment-friendly.

A Jeep internal combustion engine basically acts as an air pump. A right level of air and gas combination could enable the engine to move or run. After the air and gas combust inside the engine, the process goes next to the Jeep Exhaust. The Jeep Exhaust, located at the back of a vehicle, is a series of pipes that connects the engine to a silencer and a catalytic converter. In addition, the Jeep Exhaust brings the combusted gas outside the vehicle. A typical Jeep exhaust system reduces noise, directs exhaust fumes away from the cabin, and improves engine performance and fuel economy.

An important part of Jeep's exhaust system is the exhaust manifold, which acts like a funnel. It gathers exhaust gases from all cylinders of the engine. Then, it releases the said gases through a single opening, often referred to as the front pipe. Working with the silencer as a reducing minimizer is the exhaust center. It contains metal plates or tubes that contain a set of holes bored into them. The tail pipe, the system's only visible part, then carries away the gases.

There is no question that the Jeep's exhaust system contributes in helping the SUV giant's vehicles take severe punishment, yet deliver clean, tough performance beyond expectations.
