Did you know that exhaust systems require regular checks?
Sometimes, problems with your vehicle's exhaust aren't always obvious. Often, there is no telltale sign like a loud noise or smoke to indicate that your vehicle's exhaust isn't functioning as well as it should be.
This is why regular checks of your vehicle's exhaust system are really important, not only to ensure that your exhaust is functioning properly but to ensure that your vehicle itself is running smoothly and safely.
A faulty exhaust can lead to greater problems within your vehicle, which is why regular checks are essential to prevent costly damage from occurring.
Would you like more power?
If you're hoping to increase the power and performance of your vehicle, taking a look at your exhaust system is a good starting point.
You can significantly boost the power of your vehicle using an extractor, which isn't as expensive as many people believe. Talk to our experts to learn more.
FAQ
HOW LONG DO MUFFLER SYSTEMS TYPICALLY LAST FOR?
If properly maintained, a muffler system should function optimally for 2 to 4 years, or approximately 65,000 kilometres. However, this can vary depending on the make and model. It’s advisable to confirm with your mechanic.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EXHAUST LEAK?
If you notice that your engine is rumbling louder than usual, excessive gas pedal vibrations, or decreased fuel efficiency, an exhaust leak may be at play. Additionally, if your ‘Check Engine Light’ is on, that could also be a sign. Should you notice any of these indications, it’s advisable to contact a mechanic ASAP.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REPLACE A MUFFLER?
In most cases, the job can be finished within just 2 to 3 hours. However, it’s important to confirm with your mechanic.
How do I know if my exhaust needs repairing?
There are many different signs that could signal your vehicle's exhaust needs professional repair work.
For example, if your vehicle is experiencing decreased fuel efficiency, or if you notice some unusual vibrations when you're on the road, you may need to have your exhaust repaired or replaced.
Other signs to look out for are a burning smell or loud, rattling sounds when driving. To have your exhaust professionally serviced, contact us today.
Why is smoke coming out of my exhaust when I accelerate?
If there's something wrong with your exhaust, smoke may be seen coming out when you accelerate.
Different colours of smoke can indicate different problems, for example:
- Blue: This signifies that there is oil that is entering your vehicle's fuel system.
- White: This could simply be a sign of your engine warming up when you start your vehicle, which is less troublesome, but it could also be a sign of a coolant leak.
- Black: Black smoke is common in diesel vehicles, however, if black smoke is persistent, it could indicate worn fuel injectors.
- Grey: This can indicate a number of issues, from faulty valves to transmission fluid leaks. We strongly recommend having your exhaust checked to find the problem.
What does a rattling exhaust mean?
A rattling exhaust typically means that your exhaust has become misaligned underneath your vehicle and that it needs securing in place.
Why is it important to repair exhaust problems?
Exhaust problems limit the functionality and performance of your vehicle, whilst also releasing potentially harmful fumes from the engine.
If you think something is wrong with your exhaust, get it checked out straightaway.
What does a catalytic converter do?
Catalytic converters transform harmful compounds emitted from an engine into safe gases such as steam.
