Exhaust Systems: What they do

Automotive exhaust systems are usually a series of pipes and metallic containers that guide the flow of exhaust gases away from the engine and the cabin. Another important job completed by your vehicle’s exhaust system is to quiet the engine noise with a muffler that is usually positioned between the catalytic converter and exhaust pipes. As you can see, your vehicle’s exhaust system has many complex components that do important jobs but can also wear out over time. Given the importance of handling exhaust gases properly and your desire to have a vehicle that is relatively quiet while running, one of the best ways to get these both squared away is with an Exhaust System Service. Every Exhaust System Service at Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City is completed by an expert technician that knows your exact vehicle inside and out.

    Exhaust Systems also Help Control Dangerous Emissions

    Besides guiding gases away from the engine and keeping your vehicle running quietly, your exhaust system also includes emission controls that reduce dangerous gases from entering the environment. The Emission System is complex with computerized engine controls, sensors, and exhaust parts. The main job of your emission system is reducing harmful gasses emitted from the engine like nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons. Federal law mandates that automobile manufacturers engineer vehicles with an emissions system that keeps emissions within a specified range.

    The Common Causes of Exhaust System Problems 

    1. Stop-and-go driving
    2. Hauling heavy loads or heavy towing 
    3. Age of vehicle – older vehicles have more problems with faulty parts 
    4. Electrode material on spark plugs can cause issues
