About Your Vehicle Emissions

Most people think mufflers are there to just keep their car running quietly. While that’s a major consideration, there is much more to it. A vehicle’s exhaust system is designed to control the flow of a vehicle emissions exhaust gases away from the engine.

And your vehicles muffler is just one component of the engines exhaust emission system, which is responsible for reducing noise pollution, but also for dramatically cutting down on air pollution.

Your vehicle emissions system pretty much starts  right behind the engine. Exhaust manifolds are connected to cylinder heads, which collect the exhaust gases.

As these gases move on through the exhaust system, they are analyzed by oxygen sensors,  refined through the catalytic converter and then muffled by the muffler system.

So by the time those gases are removed from you vehicle, a well regulated  emission system has led to your car run quieter, cleaner and smoother.

Common Signs of Vehicle Emissions System Wear and Tear

Wear and tear is defined as damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear, usage or aging

Cracks, small holes, blocked intakes or damaged wires could cause exhaust leaks in your Exhaust manifolds and gaskets which can cause incorrect fuel/air mixture adjustments, poor fuel economy, affect vehicle performance and can also be unsafe

Corrosion, Overheating, dents, or a plugged up  catalytic converter can create more air pollution, add to an excessive noise and make your vehicle rough while in the idle mode.

Having holes or rust deposits in your resonators and mufflers cause air pollution, excessive noise and a very rough idling engine

Any excessive rust or broken bolts in your vehicle emissions exhaust systems pipes, hangers, clamps, or brackets could cause parts to hang dangerously low, resulting in a hazard for your vehicle as well as other cars on the road and their passengers

So to help keep your car running smoothly, quietly, and efficiently, we recommend having your vehicle emissions exhaust system checked out at least once a year.
