Morphology
The meaning is compositionally derived from 'exhaust' (engine gases) + 'manifold' (a pipe/chamber with several outlets/inlets), so a learner who knows both words can infer this is the pipe/chamber that collects and channels exhaust gases. The compound follows a common noun+noun pattern and has direct equivalents in many languages, making the sense immediately understandable to B1 learners.
Etymology
The noun exhaust manifold comes from the words exhaust (the hot gases that leave an engine) and manifold (a single chamber that joins many pipes). So an exhaust manifold 'collects' exhaust from several cylinders and 'sends' it into the exhaust pipe.
