Exhaust System

The exhaust system is composed of a series of pipes and tubes and is located underneath your vehicle. It’s major job is to collect harmful emissions and direct them to a catalytic converter. The converter then transforms these gases into less harmful ones, therefore reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment.


The exhaust system is also responsible for maximizing your vehicle’s efficiency and performance. The muffler reduces the sound of emissions passing through the exhaust system. Driving with a faulty muffler can be dangerous, as it can leak harmful emissions into your cabin.


Components of the exhaust system


  • Exhaust manifold
  • Oxygen sensors
  • Catalytic converter
  • Resonator
  • Exhaust Pipe
  • Muffler


Signs of a exhaust problem


  • Decreased fuel efficiency
  • Decreased power
  • Engine rattling or misfiring
  • Loud exhaust sounds
  • Unusual smell
  • Dangling tailpipe


It is possible that your vehicle might not pass the Emissions Test even though you may not notice any signs of a problem. If this happens you may have a dirty Engine Filter in need of replacing. Your Fuel Injectors might be dirty, or you might have a problem with your Catalytic Converter.
