am I understanding Intake/exhaust inlets/outlets correctly??
OK, I come from a Honda/Acura background, on those cars, typically, the air goes
IN-
1. Airfilter, then
2. Throttle Body, then to
3. Intake valves
then OUT
1. Headers
2. cat
3. Exhaust
fairly simple
NOW that I have a Z, it seems that there keeps popping up NEW components I am NOT familiar with. Let me see if I got it right??
IN
1. Intake
2. Throttle body
3. Plenum
4. Intake valves
OUT
1. Headers (2 sets)
2. Y-pipe
3. Cat
4. cat back exhaust
Is that right????

cats before y pipe.
every car has a plenum/intake manifold. you just never got that far with the acura. not all cars have a 2 piece intake manifold like the Z or the mustang. usually referred to as upper and lower plenum. on this board people have been reffering to the upper plenum. both make the intake manifold. sort of like the exhaust manifold's counterpart this is what directs the air to the ports (valves) and the exhaust manifolds bring it out of the exhaust ports. headers replace exhaust manifolds and are called headers because the bolt up to the head(s) (duh).
