How to diagnose exhaust problems in 4 simple ways

Introduction

• The exhaust is considered a vital part of a car.
  It doesnt just diminish the noise of the engine
  but it also ensures that the generated engine
  fumes are routed away from the passenger cabin.
  Therefore, its extremely important to ensure
  that the exhaust system is maintained in good
  working condition. Lets take a look at a few
  simple ways for you to be able to diagnose
  exhaust system problems.

An abnormally loud exhaust

• One of the most obvious symptoms of a failing
  exhaust is an abnormally loud exhaust system. If
  any of the exhaust system components corrode or
  crack, this can cause an exhaust leak resulting
  in an abnormally loud exhaust system. With
  increased acceleration, the sound gets more
  pronounced. This can lead to exhaust gases
  entering the cabin of the vehicle.

A raw gasoline smell from the exhaust

• Noticeable exhaust smells are a common symptom of
  an exhaust system failure. If any of the exhaust
  components are damaged, then exhaust fumes can
  enter the cabin of the vehicle. Raw gasoline
  smells inside the vehicle are a common indicator
  of an exhaust system failure.

5
Rattling noise due to exhaust failure

• Rattling of exhaust pipes can be a serious
  problem. If any of the exhaust system components
  mechanically fail, they can be a hazard to other
  road users. The onset of mechanical failure can
  be detected by rattling noises from the underside
  of your vehicle. Mechanical vibration can
  subsequently spread to other noticeable locations
  including the number plates of your car.

6
Decreased fuel efficiency, power and acceleration

• Engine performance will suffer as a result of
  exhaust system failures. Exhaust system failures
  result in a reduction in fuel efficiency, reduced
  levels of acceleration and a reduction in engine
  power.

A healthy exhaust system has several benefits
such as

• Maintaining engine performance and fuel
  efficiency.
• Minimizing vehicle noise levels.
• Removing hazardous products from exhaust gases.

8
A healthy exhaust system has several benefits
such as

• Ensuring exhaust gases do not enter the cabin of
  the vehicle.
• Is safe and does not present a hazard to other
  road users.

• So, you will benefit in many ways if you take the
  time to maintain your car exhaust system
