Your exhaust emission system does all of its important work while hanging precariously from the bottom of your vehicle. So to help keep your car running smoothly, quietly, and efficiently, we recommend having your exhaust system checked out at least once a year.
Common Signs of Wear
- Exhaust manifolds and gaskets: cracks or small holes could cause exhaust leaks, affecting both safety and performance
- Oxygen sensors: cracks, damaged wires, or blocked intakes could cause incorrect fuel/air mixture adjustments and poor fuel economy
- Catalytic converters: overheating, dents, clogs, or corrosion could cause air pollution, excessive noise and rough idle
- Resonators and mufflers: excessive rust or holes could cause air pollution, excessive noise and a rough idle
- Pipes, hangers, clamps, and brackets: excessive rust or broken bolts could cause parts to hang dangerously low, resulting in a hazard for the people driving behind you
