Your exhaust system is broken down into the following main sections: manifold, catalytic converter, piping, muffler, and finally the tailpipe. When any of these parts fail, you may experience one or many of the following symptoms:

 

EXHAUST RED FLAGS

 

• Unusual vibrations and rattling

• Loud exhaust tones

• Decreased gas mileage 

• Sulfuric or "Rotten Egg" smell

• Water dripping from the muffler

• Excess rust around the muffler

 

While these signs will indicate an exhaust system repair is necessary, other symptoms may not be so apparent. When your exhaust system is experiencing a failure or malfunction, your only notification might be an error light on your dash.

 

Honest1’s ASE certified mechanics and technicians can diagnose your vehicle’s exhaust system problem, and recommend the necessary repairs to get your vehicle back to functioning properly, and ensure your vehicle is not breathing harmful emissions and polluting the environment. 
 

MANIFOLD REPLACEMENT

 

If corrosion or other damage is diagnosed by our technicians, a manifold replacement may be necessary. If you tend to hear a rattling sound, that could be a loose manifold bumping against other components in the exhaust system. Engine hesitation and hard acceleration can be signs of a leak in your manifold, and increased noise and sputtering can indicate damage to your manifold. Routine inspections of your vehicle’s exhaust system will ensure your exhaust system is functioning properly. Schedule your exhaust system inspection today.

 

CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT

 

Your vehicle’s catalytic converter helps clean emissions before they are carried out through your exhaust system’s tailpipe. 

Catalytic converters are an important exhaust system component because they play in passenger safety. Without a catalytic converter, your exhaust system would release poisonous and dangerous gases into the immediate environment around your vehicle. It is very important that a damaged catalytic converter be replaced at the first sign of trouble. 

 

MUFFLER

 

We’ve all heard a vehicle’s muffler, but did you know your muffler is just one part of a larger exhaust system that carries harmful gases and fumes away from your vehicle’s engine? Your vehicle’s muffler is responsible for dampening of engine noise, helping control engine overheating, and releasing vehicle emissions into the environment.  

 

MUFFLER RED FLAGS

 

• Rattling, banging, or dragging noises

• Heavy rust

• Low hanging muffler 

• Dragging muffler or exhaust pipes

• Heavy soot deposits

• White or dark clouds of smoke from exhaust

• Strong burning odors from exhaust

 

MUFFLER REPLACEMENT

 

A muffler that needs replacement can also lead to a decrease in fuel efficiency or rough idling. Honest1’s ASE certified mechanics and technicians can diagnose, calculate the costs, and when approved - correct your vehicle’s exhaust system issues, all backed by the industry’s leading warranty.
