Signs of Exhaust Problems Troy OH

In order to really understand your exhaust system and recognize when there is a problem, you need to know what it is and what components it is made up of. Modern exhaust systems are getting more and more advanced. They are responsible for increasing your vehicle’s efficiency as well as minimizing emissions and noise. The parts at play in making this happen include piping, your muffler, and the catalytic converter.

For the most part, your exhaust system is not prone to failing or wearing down. In fact, when there is an issue it is often due to a malfunction elsewhere in your car. Since exhaust problems could be a sign of a deeper issue it is important to know the signs and symptoms.

  • Misfiring Engine – When your engine misfires it releases raw fuel into the exhaust system which exposes other components to unburned fuel and could lead to serious issues.
  • Decrease in Fuel Efficiency, Acceleration, or Power A well-running exhaust system provides more efficient filtration and allows your engine to “breathe” better which increases overall performance. When it isn’t working as it was designed, it leads to a decrease in performance.
  • Excessive Noise – While a “Vroom, Vroom” sound is fun when you are a kid playing with matchbox cars, in real life, it is a sign of a malfunctioning exhaust system.
