INTRODUCTION - EXHAUST PIPES AND SILENCERS
SPECIFICATIONS
The engine exhaust gases flow into manifold (1) integral with catalytic converter (2) and then on to the front section of exhaust pipe (3). There is a flexible element (4) in the front section of the exhaust pipe to restrict the transmission of vibrations.
The rear section of the exhaust pipe consists of silencer (5) connected to silencers (6) for the 2.2 JTS version and silencer (7) for the 1.9 JTS version.
Special guards prevent heat radiating toward the body and fuel tank.
COMPOSITION
The engine exhaust gases flow through the manifold to the turbocharger, to the catalytic converter and via a pipe (1) to the DPF filter (2)
There is a flexible element (3) in the front section of the exhaust pipe to restrict the transmission of vibrations.
The rear section of the exhaust comprises an intermediate pipe (4) and the rear silencer (5).
Special guards prevent heat radiating toward the body and fuel tank.

Exhaust system
The exhaust system is split in the initial section where the exhaust manifolds for the two banks, the right rear and the left front reach the two pre-catalyzers. The two pipes then leave the pre-catalyzers and are connected to the pipes that direct the exhaust gases to the left and right catalyzers by means of flexible connections. At the outlet of the catalyzers the two pipes become one which directs the exhaust gases into the front silencer and comes out as a single pipe which splits later on into two pipes again which reach the two rear silencers separately.
