The components responsible for channeling spent combustion gases away from the engine, reducing emissions, and influencing the vehicle’s sound signature are a critical element of the Toyota 86. This set of parts typically includes the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter(s), resonator(s), muffler, and associated piping and hardware. These elements work in concert to manage the flow and treatment of the exhaust gases.
Properly functioning emissions controls contribute to environmental responsibility. The design and quality of these parts can significantly affect engine performance, including horsepower and torque output. Moreover, the acoustic properties of the aforementioned components determine the characteristic sound emanating from the vehicle, which is a key consideration for many enthusiasts.
