Exhaust System & Maintenance
The exhaust is a vital primary system with three important jobs: reducing engine noise, reducing harmful pollutants, and guiding combustion fumes away from the engine. The exhaust system needs inspections at major service intervals and maintenance as needed if problems develop. The exhaust system has several components that might need repairs.
Exhaust System Components
Here is an overview of the primary exhaust system components susceptible to damage that might require replacement:
- Muffler – is designed to reduce, or muffle engine noise. The telltale bad muffler warning sign is louder engine operation.
- Oxygen Sensor – is strategically placed in the exhaust system to monitor oxygen levels. A faulty oxygen sensor will not provide the engine necessary data for the optimal air-fuel mix. A bad oxygen sensor is usually detected by the onboard diagnostic system and will cause a dashboard warning light.
- Catalytic Converter – reduces harmful emissions that threaten the environment and health. Good converters make emission gasses less harmful.
- Exhaust Manifold – connects the exhaust system to the engine. It funnels combustion gasses from each engine cylinder to the exhaust.
- Resonator – the resonator works with the muffler to silence engine noise. It prepares loud engine noise for the muffler.
Faulty Exhaust System Component Indicators
A faulty exhaust system can cause several warning signs. If you notice any of these telltale faulty exhaust system indicators, be sure to schedule a prompt exhaust system service:
- Decreased horsepower/acceleration
- Reduced fuel economy
- Burning odor
- Exhaust pipe hangs closer to the ground
- Louder engine operation
