EXHAUSTS

Spot Exhaust Issues Early to Avoid Trouble

Your car’s exhaust system plays a crucial role beyond just expelling gases—it also manages noise, enhances engine performance, and boosts fuel efficiency. Since it's hidden away, exhaust issues can be subtle, often manifesting as unusual noises. If you hear roaring, hissing, chugging, rattling, or metallic vibrations, it’s best to bring your vehicle to Kennings as soon as possible.

Our Kennings-trained exhaust specialists can diagnose the issue and guide you on the best course of action. Addressing problems early may allow for a simple part replacement rather than a complete system overhaul, saving you time and money.

Understanding Your Exhaust System

The exhaust system comprises a series of pipes connecting the engine to the tailpipe. Exhaust gases flow from the engine to the catalytic converter, which reduces emissions. The gases then pass through the silencer, where metal plates or tubes decrease the pressure, allowing them to exit quietly.

The lifespan of your exhaust depends on your driving habits. Short city trips can cause quicker corrosion compared to longer journeys. Regardless of your driving style, keep an ear out for any changes in exhaust noise. If you notice something amiss, visit Kennings to address the issue before it escalates.
