Abstract

The application relates to internal combustion engines, cylinder heads, exhaust passages, and shapes and configurations of the exhaust passages. The exhaust passage may have cross-sectional shapes formed by two limbs. The cross-sectional shape of the exhaust passage may change as the passage extends. The exhaust passage may also merge with other exhaust passage. The exhaust passage may be part of a cylinder head or an exhaust manifold.
