A properly functioning exhaust system helps your engine run efficiently and keeps emissions in check. When components like the muffler, pipes or catalytic converter start to wear out, it can lead to reduced power, noisy operation or unusual smells. You might also notice increased fuel use or sluggish acceleration. These are signs that airflow through the system isn’t working as it should.
Regular inspections help prevent blockages, corrosion and backpressure that can affect your engine over time. Servicing or replacing worn parts not only helps your vehicle run better but also ensures it stays compliant with emissions standards and performs well in everyday driving.
