- Muffler & Tailpipe Hanger Box, 1960-1970 - Internal combustion engines produce exhaust gases that must be vented from the engine. Gases generally are routed from the engine through a manifold or header, and then through an exhaust pipe to the car's rear. Before they exit the pipe, the gases move through a muffler with baffles or plates that reduce -- or muffle -- the noise.

- "Townsend's Horizontal Pipes," 1847 - Sparks and embers were a constant hazard from wood-burning locomotives. Passengers complained about singed clothing, shippers about damaged goods, and trackside property owners about scorched buildings. Spark arrestors, fitted to locomotive smokestacks, helped control the problem. But not until coal -- which produced fewer sparks -- became the dominant locomotive fuel after the Civil War was the issue effectively solved.

- Ford Thunderbird Rear Exhaust Pipe, 1955 - Ford Motor Company introduced the Thunderbird, a two-seat "personal car," for 1955. Its 392-cubic-inch V-8 engine was rated at 193 horsepower on manual-transmission cars, but a higher compression ratio boosted that rating to 198 for automatics. Dual exhaust pipes were routed through ports in the rear fascia, located on each side of the license plate and attached to the rear bumper.
