Responsible for removing the harmful gases that are a product of the chemical reactions occurring in a vehicle’s engine, the exhaust system is an integral part of a car’s overall engine. More than just the tailpipe and muffler, it is a complex system that captures the gas created in the internal combustions that power your car and releases them in a diluted form in the air. Due to its importance in the overall engine system, an exhaust system must be maintained for the vehicle to work properly and for you and your passengers to be safe on the road.

The exhaust system, like every other part of a vehicle, can wear down and break, forcing you to get it repaired before you can hit the road again safely. Fortunately, there are many signs that can indicate to you that something is wrong with your exhaust system. Paying attention to these signs can allow you to get your car into an expert to get the exhaust fixed and to get you back on the road more quickly.

• Noise: The most obvious sign that an exhaust system needs to be repaired is increased noise. While many mufflers make loud, rumbling noises, the increased noise often comes from the engine itself due to the inability of the exhaust to contain the combustions occurring in the engine and remove them safely into the air.
• Vibrations: Another common sign of a faulty exhaust system are vibrations that can at first usually be felt in either the steering wheel or the gas pedal. When larger breakdowns occur, you may feel the whole car shake. If the entire car is shaking, immediately take the vehicle in as this can be a safety hazard.
• Smell: As stated above, a core responsibility of the exhaust system is to remove the harmful gases that are a byproduct of the combustions powering your vehicle. If you start smelling fumes in your vehicle, this may be a sign that your exhaust system needs to be repaired as fumes are escaping and drifting up into the vehicle.
