A multiobjective design optimization system of exhaust manifold shapes with tapered pipes for a car engine has been developed by using divided range multiobjective genetic algorithm (DRMOGA) to obtain more engine power as well as to produce less pollutant. Although the present design problem is known to be highly non-linear, the exhaust manifold has been successfully designed to improve both objectives. A comparison of the results obtained by DRMOGA and MOGA was performed and DRMOGA was demonstrated to find better solutions than MOGA.
