1.2 8v

The engine exhaust gases flow through manifold (1) to three-way catalytic converter (2) (see 1080).

There is a flexible element (3) in the central section of the exhaust pipe to restrict the transmission of vibrations.

The rear exhaust pipe section consists of a silencer (4).

Special guards prevent heat radiating toward the body.

The various components are supported by mountings and flexible rings (5) secured to the underbody.
