EXHAUST SYSTEM
Pump Up Your Car’s Power And Sound With A Well Functioning Exhaust System
The role of an exhaust system is to reduce noise and remove harmful fumes away from your car or truck. Keeping your exhaust and emission control system in good working condition is essential for fuel mileage, your safety, and the environment
Concern about automobiles’ effect on the environment is nothing new. All exhaust systems produce gases as emissions, one of which is carbon monoxide. These gases are dangerous to humans and harmful to our environment. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless chemical that may leak from a malfunctioning exhaust system. If this chemical is breathed in it could cause serious damage to your health (exhaust gas is poisonous). Frequent inspection of your exhaust system is a must for your safety, as well as, the safety of your passengers.
What Are The Signs Of An Exhaust System Problem?
A car exhaust system is made up of several components that work together to reduce noise, limit emissions, and increase efficiency. The exhaust system is comprised mainly of an exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, muffler, and exhaust pipe. A well-maintained car exhaust system should last 2 to 3 years. Some common exhaust system problems include:
- A clogged muffler or catalytic converter
- Corrosion or rust
- Faulty oxygen sensor (resulting to a decrease in your gas mileage)
- Exhaust smoke and leaks
Generally speaking, car exhaust system problems are often a sign that something else in the vehicle isn’t functioning properly. However, it is still important to look out for these signs of car exhaust system problems.
- Gasoline smell
- Burning smell from the engine bay
- Engine misfires
- Excessive loud noises while driving
- The decrease in power or acceleration
- The decrease in fuel efficiency
- Hanging exhaust pipe
Time For An Emissions Test!
A loud vehicle could be a sign that it’s time for a brand new exhaust system or muffler. The emissions test is a great indicator of the overall exhaust system’s health. Do you hear an abnormally loud noise or sound coming from your car or truck? Then, get your exhaust system checked right away to avoid other problems.
At E1 Auto Care, our certified mechanics can handle any exhaust problems that are common among all major vehicle makes and models. You can expect us to provide a full line of exhaust solution options. It’s recommended to have your exhaust system inspected once a year. Routine maintenance will save you from having to replace the entire exhaust system. Don’t wait for an exhaust problem to develop into something worse (or else it will have a negative impact on your car’s performance and your wallet).
