Most people think that your cars exhaust system does nothing more than release the wastes from their car. The exhaust system does remove the wastes from your car's engine making it run more efficiently and get better gas mileage, as well as filtering and treating the waste so that is as harmless to the environment as possible.

When your exhaust system goes bad, it can cause air leaks that will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as possible, as well as dumping more pollution into the air than is necessary. A healthy exhaust system is critical if you are to maintain the health and welfare of the vehicle occupants, a quiet smooth running engine and optimum fuel efficiency.

Replacing your exhaust system when it is worn out can also be a safety issue, it takes a hole of 50c in your exhaust system to put you to sleep because of the fumes, and noise can be distracting to you as you are driving. Between the two this can spell disaster so be sure to keep your exhaust system to date and in good repair.

What happens should my exhaust fail?

Exhausts have four main functions:

1. to control noise
2. to direct exhaust fumes away from passengers
3. to improve the performance of the engine
4. to improve fuel consumption

An exhaust is a series of pipes that links the engine to a silencer and a catalytic converter. The tailpipe is the part of the exhaust that you can see extending from the back of the car. The silencer joins onto the tailpipe, then a series of further pipes joins the silencer to the catalytic converter and then the engine.

Exhausts can corrode from both the inside and outside. How long your exhaust lasts depends on how far and how often you drive your car rather than the length of time it has been fitted. Vehicles used for short trips around town tend to corrode their exhausts in a much shorter time and distance than cars used predominately for long journeys.

At Eastern Mechanical we Install Quality Mufflers & Exhaust Systems

These days exhaust systems are made from stainless steel parts to keep them from rusting like they used to do, but this does not mean that an exhaust system is not subject to age and wear and tear so it will still need to be inspected and replaced from time to time to make sure that your car runs at its optimum.

Some of the symptoms of an exhaust system that may indicate that it is time to replace it include if your car sounds too loud, or makes noises that you had not heard for before. A hissing may indicate that your tail pipe needs replacing and an excessively noisy exhaust system indicates that possibility that there may be holes in your pipes, catalytic converter or your muffler. If your engine over heats or lacks power you may have a damaged muffler or tailpipe that is causing too much back pressure on the engine.
