Exhaust System

Exhaust System Service

The exhaust system on your car or truck has a couple of obvious functions and a few that are not so obvious. It filters out many harmful gases and particulates that would pollute the air and make life miserable for pedestrians. It also minimizes the noise of your engine, as you are probably aware. But you might not know that it also improves your engine’s performance and helps to make your vehicle more fuel-efficient.

Components of Your Exhaust System

Your vehicle’s exhaust system has a big job. Fortunately, it has the help of several sophisticated subsystems that come together nicely to provide smoother acceleration, stronger performance, and cleaner emissions. They include: * The Muffler: This is the part of your exhaust system that quiets engine noise and makes for a pleasant ride. Even the smallest cars can sound like a Harley Davidson without a properly functioning muffler. * The Catalytic Converter: This clever device converts harmful gases into carbon dioxide (which is food for plants) and water vapor. That’s a neat trick! * The Exhaust Manifold: This system collects exhaust from each of your engine’s cylinders and gathers it all into a central receptacle for treatment and expulsion. * The Oxygen Sensor: This device is mounted on the exhaust manifold and measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. It uses this information to control the flow of materials that are burnable as fuel back into the engine.

Signs Your Need Exhaust System Service

As with any of your vehicle’s mission-critical systems, if any of these components of your exhaust system falter, you will lose fuel efficiency, and possibly begin to emit intolerable levels of engine noise. If you experience: * Decreased fuel efficiency * Increased engine noise * Vibrations in the steering wheel or gas pedal

Then your exhaust system is almost certainly in need of care or repair. If you experience any of these symptoms, you will begin to lose fuel efficiency, fail smog inspections, experience loss of power at critical times such as climbing hills, and emit disruptive engine noise. The good news is that the pros at Joe Cooper Ford Yukon can help.
