Exhaust Service and Repair in Puyallup
The exhaust system plays a number of important roles in any vehicle, including mitigating harmful emissions, quieting engine noise, and moving exhaust gasses away from the driver and passengers to the rear of the vehicle.
While exhausts are a simple system, made up of the exhaust pipe and a few components such as resonators, mufflers, and catalytic converters, this doesn’t mean they’re immune from developing issues that can negatively affect your vehicle.
Exhaust leaks or possibly the most common issue, which occurs when exhaust gasses can leak from a point in the system before the tailpipe. Leaks like these can develop at various locations throughout the exhaust, from the manifold near the engine to the muffler in front of your tailpipe or anywhere in between. Not only do exhaust leaks increase the noise and harmful emissions coming from your exhaust, especially if leaking prior to the catalytic converter, but they can also throw off the oxygen sensors used to monitor the air-fuel ratio in the engine.
