AUTO EXHAUST SERVICE

Your vehicle’s exhaust system and emission control system work together to control the harmful gases and pollutants that your vehicle emits, as well as regulate the noise made by your car. An efficient exhaust system creates a healthier environment and makes your car quieter while driving down the road.

There are five main parts in a typical exhaust system, and they all need to be functioning properly in order to ensure your safety:

Exhaust Manifold: Responsible for venting gases from the engine into one pipe, and burning any leftover fuel not burned properly by the engine.

Oxygen Sensor: Sends oxygen level readings to the car’s computer, which then regulates fuel for optimal efficiency.

Exhaust Pipes: Carries exhaust through the entire system, from the manifold at the front to its exit at the tailpipe.

Catalytic Converter: Reduces the car’s harmful emissions by converting carbon monoxide and other gases into carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Muffler: Reduces the volume of the exhaust system’s loud combustion noises.
