  Exhaust system position The exhaust system is located at the underfloor of the vehicle.  
  Exhaust system task The tasks of the exhaust system are:
  • Directing the exhaust gases with a slight backpressure to the rear of the vehicle
  • Absorbing the noise of the exhaust gases
  • Optimizing power output of engine
  • Emission control by means of TWC.
 
  Exhaust system design Engine 119 in Model 210 GF49.00-P-2000-01F
    Engine 112, 113 in Model 215, 220 GF49.00-P-2000-01K
    Engine 137 in model 215, 220 GF49.00-P-2000-01L
    Engine 113 in model 230 GF49.00-P-2000-01R
  Exhaust system function The exhaust system muffles the exhaust gases which flow out of the combustion chamber with severe pulses in order to ensure that a certain noise level is not exceeded and that the exhaust gases do not encounter any major resistance when flowing off.
For noise insulation, the components are partially double-walled, shields reduce the heat dissipation to the underfloor.
