Maintenance: 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
manifolds should be checked periodically to make
sure mounts are secure and no cracks have developed.

Maintenance: 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: 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. |
