Dangers of an Exhaust System Failure

If you disregard the signs of exhaust failure, it can lead to catastrophic issues such as:

• Sparks or extremely high temperatures can ignite fires
• Deadly gases such as Carbon monoxide can enter the cabin of your vehicle. Since CO is odorless and colorless, this can be highly dangerous for your safety
• If your vehicle has a dragging exhaust component, it can tear off completely and strike your rear wheels or other vehicles behind you
• Any exhaust components that are broken or torn off your vehicle and lying on the road can cause other vehicles to swerve and have an accident, puncture tires and also get caught up in the undercarriage of another vehicle to cause further destruction.

What Does Your Exhaust System Do for Your Vehicle

Located on the underside of your vehicle, the exhaust system is responsible for minimizing a multitude of operational hazards while your drive your car.

The primary purpose of a muffler is to decrease the volume of noise generated by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. And your exhaust is required to remove harmful fumes and emissions generated by your vehicle. These two components together are what is referred to as the exhaust system of your vehicle.

Exhaust systems are vital for your safety since a defective exhaust system can cause potentially fatal gases, such as carbon monoxide, to leak into the cabin of your car. The catalytic converter, a key element of your exhaust system, helps convert dangerous gases to harmless ones that do much less damage to our environment. Lastly, your exhaust system is chiefly responsible for reducing the temperature of your car emissions, in turn securing other components of your vehicle from damage.

Signs that Signify Your Vehicle Needs a Repair Service

Exhaust systems are not always governed by your vehicle’s electronic alert system to notify you it needs servicing. Your car manual may not have adequate instructions on what to keep an eye on for your exhaust system to be running efficiently either. So Samsmith Performance Car Care Center has provided a few key symptoms to keep an eye out for so you know when to get your vehicle’s exhaust system inspected or repaired:

Visual Troubles

These issues are obvious to the naked eye, such as hanging exhaust pipes, increasing rust around your exhaust system or holes in your muffler, and they should be addressed right away.

Burning Odors or Fumes

Since your exhaust system is positioned to protect other vehicle components from extremely high temperatures, burning odors might be cause for alarm. A faulty gasket might be causing heat to escape into your vehicle, causing plastic components and even wiring to burn. If you start to smell something odd, don’t wait to see if smoke is emanating from your vehicle, as this may not occur. Call Samsmith Performance Car Care Center right away.

Another sign to look out for is smelling unnatural gases in your vehicle while you’re driving, this may signify a leak in your exhaust system.

Reduced Fuel Efficiency or Acceleration

If your exhaust system is experiencing troubles, it can impact your engine’s performance as well. You may notice that your automobile does not accelerate as well or as quickly

Excessively Noisy Engine

If your engine is making noises that are much louder than normal, it may be exhibiting signs of exhaust problems. You will likely notice this when you’re accelerating. There might be a crack or hole in your exhaust system.

Another type of odd noise to look out for is hissing or tapping noise when you start or accelerate your vehicle. This may indicate small leaks in your manifold gasket.

If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms while driving around your vehicle, don’t ignore it. This could damage other essential parts of your vehicle and even put your life in danger.

The exhaust system on your vehicle is highly complex and does much more than just blow out the exhaust fumes from the back.

Our Extensive Exhaust Repair Services

As exhaust repair experts, we pride ourselves on our ability to complete repairs and replacements quickly and effectively. We’re the team to turn to if you’re experiencing any of the following problems:

Exhaust Leaks

Leaky exhaust systems are, unfortunately, very common and can be highly detrimental to your vehicle’s condition. The manifold and the muffler are the most common leak points because they do a lot of the heavy lifting of exhaust systems. However, when you bring your vehicle to us for a leaky exhaust repair, we’ll inspect the entire exhaust system, as leaks can occur in many different places along the exhaust pipe.

Signs you might have an exhaust leak often include noticing a hissing or popping sound coming from the back of your vehicle. Reduced fuel efficiency could also point toward an exhaust leak. In rarer cases, a sulfur-like smell from your car might indicate a leaky exhaust. In any of the cases mentioned above, please bring your vehicle to us, and we'll help you fix it right away.

Broken Muffler

A broken muffler might not seem like a big deal initially, but it will worsen as time passes. Your muffler is responsible for noise management by 'muffling' the raucous whirring of your engine. Many people don't realize just how much noise their engines make until the muffler is defective.

Bring your vehicle into our shop if your muffler has become damaged or rusted. As the preeminent local muffler experts, we're confident we can help you ensure your engine is back in good shape quickly. However, depending on the extent of the damage, it may need to be replaced.

Damaged Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter is responsible for reducing the number of harmful emissions released by your vehicle. It’s one of the key components of your exhaust system and should be treated as such. Most catalytic converters have a use-life of about ten years—after that point, they should be replaced. If you notice any clogging with your converter or it's incurred some damage, it might need to be replaced.

Some signs you might need to replace your catalytic converter:

• Reduced mileage
• Very loud engine
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Rattling noises
• Starting issues
• Misfiring engine

Any one of these issues could be something less severe than a catalytic converter issue, but they might also point in that direction. Either way, it's not worth waiting it out and potentially making for a more expensive repair. If you're experiencing any of the above issues, we can help!

Exhaust System Inspections

When you bring your vehicle into our shop concerned about exhaust system issues, we’ll first perform a complete inspection. An exhaust inspection will allow us to spot potentially severe problems before they become worse down the line.
