Firewall

[sk3322]

What exactly is a firewall and what is its purpose?

[jefff929]

firewall, the one for your truck or your computer?

[Dave]

the firewall is what seperates the engine compartment from the rest of the vehicle.

oh alright because when I was getting the exhaust installed the mechanic said something about having to hit the firewall to get the down pipe through there

It just means there wasn't enough clearance between your exhaust manifold and the wall to your cab so he had to beat the metal in a little to make it fit. No biggie, but a lot of people do it when it's not needed.
