Did You Know: There’s more ways to save money on gas than at the gas station. Clean filters and properly inflated tires help to keep cars running more fuel efficiently.
Understanding Your Vehicle's Exhaust System
The exhaust system is made up of several components, each designed to manage engine gases, reduce pollutants, and minimize noise. These include the muffler, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and oxygen sensors—all working together to help your vehicle meet emissions standards and operate efficiently.
While these parts are built to last, wear and tear, road conditions, and environmental exposure can take a toll.
Common signs of exhaust trouble include:
- Louder-than-usual engine noise
- Rattling or banging sounds from underneath the car
- Decreased fuel economy
- A lingering smell of gasoline or fumes
- Poor acceleration or engine misfires
- Visible smoke from the exhaust pipe
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time for a professional inspection. A failing exhaust system can lead to more than just noise—it can negatively affect your engine's performance and increase the amount of harmful emissions your vehicle releases.
