Exhaust - what is a b-pipe?

[kraiye]

As it says... I've seen people refer to the "b-pipe" on the exhaust. What part of the zorst is it?
Cheers :thumbsup:

in an exhaust system you'll have(for na cars anyway)
header
cat
b-pipe
axel back

b-pipe is the bulk of the piping which connects your cat to your muffler's piping

Don't forget the flex pipe.

yes and no, not everyone runs flexi joints
look at honda oem pipes, they just use donut flanges instead of flexi joints

yeah none of any of my civics had flexi joints.

its the section of piping from the catalytic converter back to the muffler. on our cars it contains the resonator.

Not always... Not all B-pipes have a resonator. A few aftermarket systems don't have them.

Also as above not all have flex pipe.

Same concept how they named A, B and C pillars in cars. A being the 1st, B 2nd, and C the 3rd :D

so... "cos theres an a and c and the b is in between? lol" isn't as st00pid as he may have intended.
