"FREE-FLOW" INTAKE<br />
MANIFOLD<br />
Another factor in the breathing<br />
efficiency which contributes so much<br />
to the 230-horsepower output of the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is the large,<br />
smooth passages in the intake manifold.<br />
They are designed to deliver<br />
uniform charges of fuel-air mixture to each cylinder, thus<br />
assuring smooth, even engine operation.<br />
CADILLAC DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is designed so that exhaust gases are<br />
quickly expelled from the cylinders to make way for the next<br />
incoming fuel-air charge. To help accomplish this, <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
provides two separate exhaust manifolds, one on each side<br />
of the engine; twin mufflers, twin resonators and twin tail<br />
pipes. The result of this separate exhaust system for each<br />
bank of four cylinders is to minimize back-pressure in the<br />
engine cylinders, and to permit a full, quiet and continuous<br />
flow of power regardless of speed or load.<br />
