Catalytic convertor

The catalytic convertor’s function is to reduce the toxic by-products of the exhaust system. It is usually located between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. One of the problems caused by a bad catalytic converter is reducing the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Issues with the catalytic converter are among the main causes of the check engine light in the dashboard. A clogged catalytic converter can also cause the vehicle engine to overheat and other problems. Our technicians can provide a thorough inspection of the catalytic convertor.

Muffler

The purpose of the muffler is to regulate the noise caused by the exiting exhaust gases. One of the most common signs of problems with the muffler is a foul smell or unusually loud noises from the vehicle. The fuel economy of the vehicle will suffer from a bad muffler. Ignoring issues with the muffler can end up being expensive in the future as replacement of the muffler might be required. It is best to have a regular inspection to detect and fix any issue early.

Exhaust Pipe

The exhaust pipe is also known as the tailpipe. It is where the exhaust gases leave your vehicle. The most common issue with the exhaust pipe is corrosion which can cause the pipe to crack or leak. A damaged exhaust pipe can make loud, grinding noises. The performance of the vehicle can also suffer as a damaged exhaust pipe can decrease the power and acceleration of the vehicle.
