Exhaust problems are a safety issue

The exhaust system in your vehicle is responsible for filtering dangerous substances created in the operation of a combustion engine and directing gases away from the cabin of the vehicle and it's occupants.

Exhaust system services are required when you run into issues such as a build up of contaminates in the catalytic converter, issues with muffler or pipe failure due to rust or overheating because of a break in the catalytic converter shield. When you want to be safely back on the road in Petrie turn to the local team you can trust - .Petrie Mechanical Repairs for the following reasons;

Issues with the exhaust system can be dangerous for your vehicle, your family and the environment. Knowing what red flags to look out for can help you pinpoint an issue before it becomes a big headache. Some of the most common signs of exhaust system failure include:

  • The emissions levels in the vehicle can go up because of contaminates in the catalytic converter. Substances such as lead and sulphur can build-up and will need to be removed.
  • Issues with the manifold will manifest themselves as a loss of efficiency.
  • Holes in the exhaust pipe can come from rust or wear and tear. When there is a hole in the muffler or exhaust pipe there will be a loud rumbling sound.
  • If the sheath on the catalytic converter is worn out then the car may overheat.
