What allows burned gasses to leave the cylinders through tubelike chambers into the exhaust pipe?

It depends whether you are talking about a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine.
A 2-stroke is typically rotary valved where a port opens near bottom dead center of the piston stroke. This port is often in the cylinder wall and this is where the exhaust exits and where the new air/fuel mixture enters.
A 4-Stroke has a camshaft that operates intake and exhaust valves. after the combustion stroke of the piston the cam actuates the exhaust valve. As the valve is open the piston comes up pushing the exhaust gas into the exhaust manifold, sometimes called a header or header pipe.

What does a car's exhaust system do?
When the internal combustion happens inside the engines cylinders, a "by product" is made. This is called exhaust. An exhaust system takes that from the engine out the back of the car through metal piping.
How does an after-cooler on a turbocharged diesel engine work?
If you are talking about an intercooler (never heard of an after cooler) the hot exhaust coming out of the cylinders is cycles through the intercooling to cool the exhaust before its cycled through the turbo.
What is a blastpipe?
A blastpipe is part of the exhaust system of a steam locomotive which discharges exhaust team from the cylinders into the smokebox behind the chimney in order to increase the draught through the fire.
What is the Purpose of a manifold in a car?
An exhaust manifold or header collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Usually constructed of cast iron, it conducts the exhaust gases from the combustion chambers to the exhaust pipe. It has smooth curves in it for improving the flow of exhaust. The exhaust manifold is bolted to the cylinder head, and has entrances for the air that is injected into it. It is usually located below the intake manifold. A header is a different type of manifold; it is made of separate equal-length tubes. There is also an intake manifold which directs fresh air, after it passes through the air filter and carburetor or throttle body, to the various combustion chambers (piston cylinders). And it should also be noted that, on some fuel-injected engines, what is often referred to as the fuel-rail, is also a manifold. It's purpose, of course, being the distribution of fuel to each injector.
What is the term for the tubelike structure through which food passes during digestion?
Esophagus
Why do some crown victorias have only one muffler?
They have a straight six cylinder engine in them. Since the cylinders are all in a straight line (i.e. "Straight Six") the exhaust can by carried via the exhaust manifold through a (basically) straight pipe to the rear of the vehicle. With a V8 or V6 engine the cylinders are arranged in either two banks of 3 or 4 cylinders, one bank on each side of the engine, hence requiring and exhaust manifold and pipe on each side of the engine to route the exhaust gas to the rear of the vehicle.
What part of a car emits carbon dioxide?
It is formed through the combustion proccess in the cylinders then exits thru the exhaust system so the tail pipe would be where it is emitted.
Transport protein that provides a tubelike opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse?
Channel Protein.
What can cause an engine to put out white smoke through the tailpipe?
head gasket lead Black Smoke is too much Fuel getting into cylinders, BLue Smoke is Oil leaking into cylinders and being burned, White Smoke is Coolant (or water) leaking into cylinders and is being converted to steam that gets blown out the exhaust pipe. TommyTrouble
What breathe through gill chambers?
The animals that breathe through gill chambers are crabs and mudskippers. Their gill chambers also function in the storage of water.
How does gills chambers work?
First, dissolved oxygen in the water is absorbed by the creature and then it flows through the gill chambers. And the waste products flow through the gill chambers and it will be passed out through the body.
What causes a 1973 Pontiac 350 engine to backfire through the exhaust?
A large backfire is most likely caused by a bad spark plug or plug wire. Unburned air and fuel pumped into the exhaust will often be ignited by the other cylinders still burning exhaust gases. Also check your ignition timing, if it is late and you have a rich mixture you can get a backfire. An exhaust leak will let air enter the exhaust under deceleration and cause a "popping" sound.
