Exhaust Tailpipe

The final pipe that the exhaust gas passes through before mixing with the atmosphere. There are a number of issues that must be taken into account:

• Positioned so that the exhaust gases exit into the moving air stream so that they are then taken clear of the vehicle.
• Designed so that it does not generate high levels of flow noise from the high speed exhaust stream.
