Which side is the exhaust on your transverse inline engine?

GM Ecotecs had the intake at the front, exhaust at the rear. At least that's how the older Ecotecs were.... I'm not sure about the new ones.

When I replaced the intake manifold gasket on my 2007 Corolla it was easy because the intake side was in the front. On my Scions the exhaust is in front and the intake is on the back side. The logic of this design eludes me because it makes both the exhaust and intake paths longer. It also likely makes the injectors harder to access.

If you have a transverse mounted inline which side is facing the radiator? Which placement is most common?

On every vehicle that I've owned the exhaust manifold was always in the front.

That's how the exhaust was configured on my previous Saab Ecotec engine. Then they reversed it later on, or so I heard.
