The pipes and parts on a car that remove waste gases

Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'exhaust' (waste gases or the pipes carrying them) with 'system' (a set of interacting components); it straightforwardly denotes the collection of parts that remove engine gases. This is a transparent noun–noun compound and follows common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The compound noun exhaust system comes from a simple picture: exhaust is the 'waste gases' left after fuel burns and a system is the pipes and parts that move things. So it literally names the parts that 'carry away' the 'waste gases' from an engine and help keep the car quieter and safe.
