Muffler
The muffler is the exhaust system component principally responsible for reducing the sounds made by the engine. Mufflers and other exhaust system components are often
replaced together because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.
Maintenance and Care:
A louder than normal sound from the exhaust or exhaust coming from an unusual place in your vehicle are warning signs of potential exhaust leaks, including odorless carbon
monoxide, which poses a serious health hazard. If you suspect any problems with your exhaust system have it checked immediately. Your vehicle’s exhaust system should be
inspected periodically in any case to maintain your car's safety. Bring your vehicle to the experts at AAMCO.
Exhaust Manifold
The muffler is the exhaust system component principally responsible for reducing the sounds made by the engine. Mufflers and other exhaust system components are often
replaced together because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.
Maintenance and Care:
Exhaust manifolds should be checked periodically to make sure mounts are secure and no cracks have developed. Exhaust pipes and the vehicle's entire exhaust system should be
inspected periodically to maintain your car's safety. Bring your vehicle to the experts at AAMCO.
Exhaust Pipes
The exhaust manifold is responsible for routing the exhaust gases out of the engine cylinder to the exhaust system. Several exhaust pipes also route the exhaust away from
the engine, into the catalytic converter, the muffler, and then out through the tail pipe. Exhaust pipes and other exhaust system components are often replaced together
because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.
Maintenance and Care:
Exhaust manifolds should be checked periodically to make sure mounts are secure and no cracks have developed. Exhaust pipes and the vehicle's entire exhaust system should
be inspected periodically to maintain your car's safety. Bring your vehicle to the experts at AAMCO.
Catalytic Converter
The purpose of the exhaust system is to reduce the sounds made by the engine, reduce the temperature of the exhaust, and to control the emissions from the vehicle. The
catalytic converter takes the gases created by the combustion of the fuel and turns the gases into more harmless emissions that do much less damage to the environment.
Today’s cars often have more than one catalytic converter.
Maintenance and Care:
The useful life of a catalytic converter depends principally on proper maintenance of the vehicle. If your vehicle runs rough, there is smoke coming from the tailpipe, or
the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT appears on the instrument panel, have your vehicle checked immediately in order to avoid potential expensive damage to the catalytic converter. Have
your vehicle's exhaust system inspected periodically to maintain your car’s safety. Bring your vehicle to the experts at AAMCO.
