Two, A V-8 means that in theory looking at it from the front, it looks like a V. Each side has a bank of 4 cylinders, Each bank has an exhaust manifold equaling one on each side.
On a V8 engine there is ( 1 intake manifold and 2 exhaust manifolds )
between the exhaust manifold and catalitic converter
On a 2004 Lincoln LS ( 3.0L V6 and 3.9L V8 engines ) Each of the engines has ( 2 ) exhaust manifolds They are located on each side of the engine , on the sides of the cylinder heads ( there is an exhaust manifold gasket , then the manifold , and they have a heat shield over the manifold ) Your vehicle exhaust system connects to the manifolds
under the exhaust manifold on the passenger side towards back of engine
To determine if a 1996 Pontiac Firebird has a V6 or V8 engine, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) located on the dashboard or inside the driver's side door frame. The 8th digit of the VIN indicates the engine type: a "6" signifies a V6 engine, while a "2" indicates a V8 engine. Additionally, you can look under the hood for the engine type label or check for the presence of a larger intake manifold and exhaust system, which are characteristic of the V8 engine.
The engine will have one exhaust manifold attached to each "bank" of cylinders. In a v6 or v8, there would be an exhaust manifold on each side of the 'V'. With the transverse mounting of the front wheel drive, the manifolds are at the front and back of the engine. On a 4 cylinder, there's only 1 bank, so just one exhaust manifold. (NOTE: there hasn't been a 4 cylinder Taurus since 1986) On the front and back of the engine it will have three pipes coming out of the engine that turn into one pipe that goes all the way back to the muffler
Standing in the front of the engine it will be on the left front side of the engine up by the front of the valve cover. It will have a medal line coming from the bottom of it and going to the exhaust manifold.
true dual exhaust would mean that each pipe would be atached to an exhaust manifold of its own. It might be a v6 or v8 or as in the old days an inline 6 whith a split manifold was popular.
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.
On a 1987 Cutlass Supreme with a 4.0L V8 engine, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is typically located on the intake manifold, near the rear of the engine. It is usually mounted to the intake manifold and connected to the exhaust system via a tube. You may need to remove some components for better access, but it should be relatively easy to identify by following the exhaust gas recirculation tube from the exhaust manifold to the valve.
Underneath air intake manifold on top of the engine.
On a 2000 Ford E-250 with a V8 engine, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is typically located on the intake manifold, near the rear of the engine. It is usually connected to the exhaust manifold via a tube and has an electrical connector for the EGR position sensor. To access it, you may need to remove other components, depending on the specific engine configuration. Always consult a service manual for precise location details and installation guidelines.
