As the current and future automobile emission regulations become stringent, the research of exhaust manifold and CCC has been the interesting and remarkable subject. The design of a CCC manifold is a formidable task due to the complexity of the flow distribution caused by the pulsating flows that are emitted by the exhaust ports. Measurement of flow distribution can be done with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, such simulations must be verified with selected experimental data. In this study, conventional casting type and stainless steel bending type of a 4-cylinder engine(with 900 cell CCC system) was performed to investigate the flow distribution of exhaust gases. Pressure was measured using simulated dynamic flow bench and 5-hole pitot probe. And then the flow uniformity of bending type exhaust manifold compared with that of the casting type. Based on the experimental data, this study verified exhaust system optimization for the better use of catalytic converter.
