[0024] By setting the shape of the reinforcing plate 4, the bottom end of the exhaust manifold 1 is supported to enhance the stability of the exhaust manifold 1; the fixing flange 5 is connected to the engine through the cooperation of the high-strength screw 7 and the three sets of nuts 9; when the engine is working, the exhaust manifold vibrates, one end of the spring 10 supports the support plate 3, and the other end of the spring 10 squeezes the nut 9; the two sets of nuts 9 on the outside squeeze the inner nut 9 to prevent the nut 9 from loosening due to the vibration of the engine, thereby reinforcing the connection between the exhaust manifold and the engine, improving the stability of the exhaust manifold during operation, reducing the damage to the exhaust main pipe caused by the vibration, and extending the service life of the exhaust manifold.

[0025] Four groups of exhaust branch pipes 2 are provided, and reinforcing ribs 11 are provided between every two groups of exhaust branch pipes 2. The reinforcing ribs 11 are provided in a U-shape.

[0026] There are several groups of threaded holes 6, and the positions between each three groups of threaded holes 6 are arranged in an equilateral triangle shape. The three groups of threaded holes 6 are distributed corresponding to the exhaust branch pipes 2. The arrangement of the threaded holes 6 improves the stability of the connection between the exhaust manifold and the engine.
