Mazda 3 Exhaust Manifold is the initial burnt gas exit point of the engine, directing each cylinder's exhaust gases to the exhaust system and avoiding the impact of heat and fumes in the cabin. Covered over by a gasket to the head, this is a stout component which collects the hot flow, directs it to the catalytic converter and muffler, and prevents reverse stroke intake that would take away power. An Exhaust Manifold connects with a casting that has one exhaust runner to each cylinder, meaning that the four-cylinder design of the car has four narrowed passages which then combine into one outlet. Throughout the history of the Mazda compact, two broad styles have been applied, an older cast iron header focusing on durability, and a more modern tubular steel header extending the runners to reduce pressure and use scavenging to provide livelier throttle action, commonly on the later 3 models. The two versions are similar in terms of the basic job they carry out, but they vary in weight, heat retention and flow efficiency. Due to the nature of the Mazda engine, which depends on a balanced air-fuel mixture, any cracks or distorted flange of the Exhaust Manifold may cause leaks, lean the mixture, and trigger a decrease in acceleration and increased fumes. Continued cooling and heating make the component susceptible, thus its maintenance ensures that performance is not affected, and Mazda occupants are not exposed to detrimental carbon monoxide.
