Question

To which part a tailpipe carries the exhaust gas to the rear side near wheels?

(a) Valve

(b) Header

(c) Manifold

(d) Muffler

I had been asked this question during an interview for a job.

My question is taken from Exhaust System in division Exhaust System & Petrol Engine Fuel Supply System of Automotive Engine Design

Answer 1

Right option is (d) Muffler

For explanation I would say: A tailpipe carries the exhaust gases from the muffler to the rear or side of the vehicle near the wheel. Muffler reduces noise by canceling the waves.
