The exhaust system exists to direct harmful fumes away from the engine in order to keep things running smoothly for the vehicle and convert those gases into something less harmful to the environment. It also consists of parts that are instrumental in reducing the noise made by the engine. There are several facets and multiple parts that make up this complex system, and it is absolutely vital for the sake of the engine's wellness to keep it functioning as it should.
Parts that make up the exhaust system:
- Cylinder Head
- Exhaust Manifold
- Turbocharger
- Catalytic Converter
- Muffler
When one or more of these parts are not functioning to their highest potential, the whole system can be thrown off and cause disastrous results for both the driver and the vehicle.
Some common problems associated with the exhaust system are:
- Smoking Car
- Loud Noises from the Engine
- Rust
- Leaks
- Clogged Muffler
- Broken Oxygen Sensor
- Vibrating Vehicle
