Vehicle Exhaust System
The exhaust system converts pollutants into less harmful byproducts. It reduces the noise of the engine and provides backpressure to improve fuel-burning efficiency. Key components of your exhaust system include:
Muffler & Catalytic Converter
The muffler is a metal container with holes, baffles, and chambers that muffles exhaust noise. It is one of the most common parts replaced on a vehicle. the resonator works with the muffler to reduce noise.
The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful emissions products by transforming pollutants into water vapor and less harmful gases.
Exhaust Pipes & Tail Pipes
The exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases from all cylinders and releases them through a single pipe. Exhaust pipes route your exhaust away from the engine and cabin.
Found at the very back of the car, the tail pipe is designed to carry exhaust gases away from the vehicle. All components of the exhaust system are connected with a series of clamps, hangers, flanges, and gaskets.
