You may think your exhaust system simply keeps your car quiet, but this system does so much more. The exhaust system is designed to move exhaust away from your car through a variety of parts like pipes, mufflers, oxygen sensors, and an emissions control device called a catalytic converter. The system has four key functions:
How do you know if you have an issue? Some signs, like a loud noise coming from the exhaust pipe, are hard to ignore. Your check engine light might come on or you may smell an odor similar to rotten eggs. This odor is associated with a failing catalytic converter, which alters harmful gasses like carbon monoxide to less harmful substances like simple water vapor or carbon dioxide. If the catalytic converter or any component of your exhaust system is not working properly, you may have a devastating problem.
