Exhaust System

Every gas and diesel engine harnesses the combustion of fuel and air to power the vehicle. Once they are combined, the mixture is compressed within cylinders and a spark is used to ignite it. This reaction moves the internal components of your engine, which enables the vehicle to move.

During this process, harmful fumes are created as a byproduct of the combustion. These gases are then cleaned by the catalytic converter before being released out of the tailpipe. Your vehicle’s exhaust system is mainly responsible for rerouting harmful gases out of the car and away from the driver and passengers. As they are released outside, your muffler acts as a dampener to minimize the sound produced from this process.

An exhaust system that functions properly not only sounds better, but is also better for you, your car and the environment. By letting us maintain each part of this system, you can avoid any dangerous fumes being let into the vehicle’s cabin, which could harm the driver and passengers. If your vehicle is outfitted with the proper muffler, it does not sound excessively loud while you drive.

To protect our surrounding environment, every vehicle should be able to effectively filter out the engine’s air pollutants before releasing the fumes outside. Thankfully, a well-functioning exhaust system does exactly that. By maintaining this necessary part of your vehicle, you can avoid negatively impacting the air quality while you drive.

The components of your vehicle’s exhaust system are particularly susceptible to damage as they are exposed to dirt, stones, salt and snow while you drive. If your vehicle failed a safety certification, produces an unpleasant smell, or is rattling – it may be time to have our certified mechanics at Green Auto inspect your exhaust. We check for indicators of corrosion, wear or damage that may cause leaks in your system. Any internal complication within your exhaust can cause toxic fumes to enter the cabin and damage other parts of your car. Let our experts help keep you safe and your car running green.
