A system designed to vent combustion byproducts away from a vehicle’s engine is often installed vertically, typically on trucks, heavy machinery, and generators. These aftermarket systems often include piping, mounting hardware, and rain caps or flaps to prevent moisture from entering the exhaust system. These components effectively relocate the point of emission, directing it upwards.
The utilization of such a system offers several advantages. Relocating the exhaust outlet can reduce ground-level pollution and prevent the accumulation of soot and grime on the vehicle itself. Furthermore, in certain applications, it can improve the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal, providing a customized and robust appearance. Historically, these systems have been employed to manage exhaust in challenging environments, such as construction sites and agricultural settings, where dispersion of fumes is essential.
