Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

Exhaust System:
The complete exhaust system from the manifold to the tail pipe is made of stainless steel and is one piece from the manifold flange downward.

Exhaust Manifold:
As on the M60, air-gap insulated sheet metal exhaust manifolds are used on the M62.

Catalytic Converter:
The headpipes are also air gap-insulated double pipes (tube-in-tube).

Catalytic converter is of a twin flute design each with 2 trimetall layers (platinum palladium, rhodium) ceramic monolith per exhaust line. In order to achieve the lowest possible exhaust gas backpressure, the monoliths have the same cross section as those on the M73.
