APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR ENSURING PROPER ASSEMBLY OF AN EXHAUST SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and system are disclosed for ensuring proper assembly of an exhaust system 200. Ensuring proper assembly of an exhaust system 200 is accomplished by providing an inflow exhaust subassembly 240 for receiving engine exhaust, at least one intermediate subassembly 230 that selectively mates and rotationally aligns with the inflow subassembly 240 and receives engine exhaust therefrom, the at least one intermediate subassembly 230 is further configured to selectively mate according to a pre-selected alignment with an outflow subassembly 210, and the outflow subassembly 210 is configured to receive engine exhaust from the at least one intermediate subassembly 230. In certain embodiments, the at least one intermediate subassembly 230 comprises a plurality of intermediate exhaust subassemblies 220, 230 each configured to selectively mate with adjacent subassemblies according to a pre-selected order and alignment.
