Best Answer

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.

What is an emission system?

The emissions system used in cars is a system which is designed to restrict the amount of pollution cars produce. Newer cars have system which prevent both Evaporative Emissions and harmful Exhaust Emissions. The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system prevents the escape of unburnt fuel vapor form the fuel tank, the fuel lines, and the engine. The Exhaust system uses at least one Catalytic converter, which is used to burn off gasses produced by the engine. On newer cars, both the EVAP and Exhaust are monitored by the vehicle's computer, which can alter the way the engine runs and can warn the driver of EVAP leaks.
