Your Exhaust System and
Its Possible Problems
Most people think of the muffler when thinking of an exhaust system. Additionally, automakers have developed new and more sophisticated exhaust systems to increase efficiency, reduce noise, and limit emissions. Mufflers, pipes, and catalytic converters reduce pollution in your exhaust system. In general, exhaust systems are resilient, and problems with them usually indicate that something else is wrong. Nevertheless, exhaust problems should be monitored closely.
