View into the exhaust manifold inlet receiving turbine exhaust gases from the LOX turbopump.

Picture 2 of 2.

We see that the exhaust manifold is a duct which is open to the exterior of the thrust chamber only through these relatively small, circular cut-outs. The turbine exhaust flows through these openings and enter the thrust chamber in gaps caused by the introduction of the 180 half-length, "down" tubes comprising the thrust chamber.
