Exhaust Manifold
Common repair procedures include inspecting for cracks or warping, removing the manifold and old gasket, cleaning the mating surfaces, and installing a new gasket. The manifold is then bolted back using proper torque specifications to ensure a tight, leak-free seal.
Downpipe
The downpipe is checked for rust, damage, or leaks. Any faulty sections or clamps are removed and replaced. Proper alignment is crucial before reattaching, ensuring the downpipe connects securely to the manifold and the rest of the exhaust system.
Catalytic Converter
Technicians diagnose converter performance by checking emissions and backpressure. If replacement is necessary, the damaged unit is cut or unbolted out, the new converter is fitted, and the joints are inspected for leaks. Final checks confirm normal exhaust flow and emission levels.
Resonator
To address issues such as noise or corrosion, the resonator assembly is inspected for damage and removed if compromised. A new resonator is installed with fresh clamps or gaskets. Ensuring proper fit and alignment helps maintain correct exhaust note and performance.
Muffler
Excessive noise or rust can indicate a failing muffler. The old muffler is unbolted or cut off, the mounting points are cleaned, and a replacement is aligned with the existing exhaust piping. Clamps or welds secure the new muffler, followed by a final test for noise reduction.
Tailpipe
Technicians check for damage or holes that can create exhaust leaks. The corroded section is removed, and a fresh tailpipe is installed. Once aligned correctly, new clamps or hangers keep the tailpipe from rattling and ensure safe exhaust gas exit.
What is an Exhaust Pipe and what does it do
No content available for this section.
Exhaust Manifold
Signs of failure include audible ticking or hissing (indicating leaks), visible cracks, and the smell of exhaust in the cabin.
Catalytic Converter
Symptoms may involve rattling sounds, reduced engine performance, and increased emissions or a sulfur (rotten egg) odor.
Oxygen Sensor
Issues often present as poor fuel economy, a check engine light, or erratic engine performance.
Muffler
Common signs include louder-than-usual noise, rust or holes on the exterior, and vibration or rattling beneath the vehicle.
Resonator
Failure can result in unusual buzzing or drone noises and reduced exhaust flow, often noticeable at specific RPM ranges.
Exhaust Pipe
Look for visible corrosion, holes, and loud exhaust noise. Leaks can cause strong exhaust smells in or around the vehicle.
Exhaust Hangers
Damaged or broken hangers often lead to excessive swaying or banging under the vehicle and abnormal vibration noise.
Gaskets
Failing gaskets can cause whistling or hissing sounds, noticeable leaks, and potential exhaust fumes inside the cabin.
