PARTS OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
The muffler, catalytic converter, and exhaust manifold make up the exhaust system. Each part is responsible for creating back pressure. This pressure helps the motor run efficiently.
WARNING SIGNS
The exhaust system is located underneath the vehicle. The exhaust parts get hot when a vehicle is being driven. The following list outlines some signs of damage that may indicate that the exhaust system needs to be serviced.
- Rust and corrosion
- Loud noises coming from the undercarriage or tailpipes
- Unfamiliar scents while operating the vehicle
- Rough handling of the vehicle
INSPECTION
The excessive heat that the exhaust system is exposed to could cause parts to become worn out. Road conditions and weather could also interfere with the manner in which the exhaust system operates.
Because the exhaust system is located along the undercarriage, a vehicle will need to be placed on a lift during an inspection of the exhaust system.
One of our certified mechanics at Mountain View Auto will inspect your vehicle’s exhaust system. They will use a visual assessment and mechanical equipment to determine if any parts of the exhaust system need to be replaced.
AFTERMARKET PARTS
If one or more parts of the exhaust system need to be replaced, our mechanic will indicate what type of repair work needs to be conducted. If you choose to purchase aftermarket parts for the repairs, you could save money.
Aftermarket parts are parts that are not made by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Aftermarket parts operate the same as OEM parts but are often priced less than original parts.
OEM PARTS
You will also have the option of purchasing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. These parts can be ordered through the manufacturer of your vehicle.

REPAIRS

MAINTENANCE
Keeping your vehicle’s exhaust system maintained will prevent the need for further mechanical assistance. You should keep your vehicle clean and dry as often as possible.
