tailpipe
[ หteษชlpaษชp ]
automotive exhaust
A tailpipe is a component of a vehicle's exhaust system that expels exhaust gases from the engine to the outside atmosphere. Typically found at the rear of the vehicle, the tailpipe serves to direct these gases away from the passenger compartment and to reduce the risk of dangerous fumes entering the cabin. Tailpipes come in various shapes and sizes, often depending on the type of vehicle and its exhaust configuration. They may also feature additional elements, such as mufflers, to help minimize noise produced by the exhaust gases.
Synonyms
exhaust outlet, exhaust pipe, muffler.
Examples of usage
- The mechanic checked the tailpipe for any leaks.
- A loud noise from the tailpipe indicates a possible issue.
- Tailpipe emissions are monitored for environmental regulation.

Etymology
The term 'tailpipe' originated in the mid-20th century as part of the automotive lexicon that developed alongside the increasing popularity of motor vehicles. It is a compound word, combining 'tail,' referring to the rear part of something, and 'pipe,' indicating a tubular structure for conveying fluids or gases. With the mass production of cars and the rise of personal transportation, the tailpipe became an essential element of vehicle design, as automobiles required effective means to exhaust gases produced during combustion. As environmental awareness grew in the late 20th century, the focus on tailpipe emissions became a significant aspect of automotive engineering and regulation, leading to advancements in technology such as catalytic converters and exhaust gas recirculation systems.
