Will the sand entering the exhaust pipe be sucked into the engine?

Sand entering the exhaust pipe will not be directly sucked into the engine. The exhaust pipe is used to exhaust waste gas, while the engine sucks in fresh air through the air inlet for combustion. Although the exhaust pipe and the air inlet are close to the engine, they are independent systems and have no direct connection with each other. So even if sand enters the exhaust pipe, it will not be sucked into the engine.

Sand entering the exhaust pipe will damage the exhaust system. Sand will block the exhaust pipe, leading to abnormal exhaust of exhaust gas, which will affect the performance of the engine. Therefore, if sand or other foreign matter is found in the exhaust pipe, it is suggested to go to a professional garage for inspection and cleaning as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of the exhaust system.
