As depicted in the above illustration, the exhaust system for the automobile usually consists of the following components: Cylinder head and Exhaust Manifold Exhaust Pipes and Elbows Catalytic converter Center Pipe Muffler Tail Pipe Further, the exhaust system is divided into three sections with different requirements as follows- High temperature section: It consists of exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, diesel particulate filter. It should have high resistance to scaling and low embrittlement
the repair work was not completed still needed final body and mechanical work. Nevertheless I took it in an attempt to test the work that had been done and see what needed to be corrected. We agreed on that I would be bringing it back to have the mufflers adjusted. On the drive home I noticed that the brakes were not working properly.

Mufflers directly contributed $28,911 in 1987 and $30,975 in 1988 and oil pans contributed $36,997 and $39,566. To improve the system at ACF, these numbers need to be considered. A product line should
