[edit] Picture/Diagram

A picture of one would be nice, maybe just one on the back of a car or something. 03:58, 26 January 2007 User:69.251.69.157

[edit] Derogatory words

I deleted the reference to "rice burners" as this is a derogatory term for Japanese import cars, regardless of the functionality. Exhausts of the type implied are generally used to create a showy, flashier sound, for imports as well as domestic cars. Regardless of the parts actual use, there is no such place for this comment in an encyclopedia.

I also re-wrote the deragatory nature of the "Exhaust Tips" section, as the author was clearly trying to implicate that anybody who mounts a chrome exhaust tip on their car is attempting to "fool others into believing that the rest of the exhaust is of the same diameter and of higher quality material".

[edit] Also refered to as an axle back.

The term used here is header back (exhaust manifold) though it is commonly refered to as an axle back. I am putting this back into the article. Comments? Zoli Elo 05:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No reference to pollution?

Strictly speaking, the exhaust system is simply the "system" that allows the exhaust gasses to escape. It actually has no relevance on pollution. The "engine" (or rather, the combustion process) is the main mechanism for generating pollution. Now, you can argue that the catalytic converter is a pollution prevention device however this has its own section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.210.106.59 (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
