In your car, truck, or SUV to our shop right away if you are having any of the problems listed below. These problems are symptoms of a malfunctioning exhaust system. It is important to have the exhaust system checked every 1 to 2 years to make sure everything is okay with the system. This gives us a chance to fix minor problems before they become major problems that are expensive to repair.
Boisterous Engine
When we say boisterous, we mean loud. If your engine has suddenly become extremely loud, somebody may have stolen the catalytic converter out of the exhaust system. It is also possible that it is time to replace the muffler because it has been damaged by road debris or age.
Popping Engine
If your engine is popping, you’ve got an exhaust system leak somewhere in the system. This leak is most likely in the exhaust manifold or the manifold gasket. When you turn on your engine, the exhaust will make a popping or tapping noise as it flows through the crack or hole.
Rotten Performance
If the exhaust system gets clogged, the combustion chamber ends up being filled with exhaust. This prevents the production of combustion and reduces your engine’s performance. Consequently, you will have difficulties accelerating and driving at high speeds in particular.
Poor Economy
You already know this but poor engine performance means poor fuel economy. Unfortunately, the engine uses more fuel when it is not running efficiently. In order to restore your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, you need to bring the automobile to our shop so we can repair the exhaust system problem.
Tailpipe Damage
The tailpipe can be easily damaged by road debris. It can also get damaged if it comes into contact with the road. For example, if you accidentally drive over a curb, you may hit the tailpipe on the curb. The tailpipe also needs to be replaced if it is corroded and has holes in it.
Exhaust Smells
Finally, the exhaust system is most likely leaking if you can smell exhaust odors inside your car, truck, or utility vehicle. Exhaust can leak out of the manifold, gasket, pipes, or if the catalytic converter has been stolen. Do not drive your vehicle if you can smell exhaust because the exhaust will make you sick.
