Is Your Exhaust System Trying to Tell You Something?

Don’t ignore those unusual rattles, roars or smells coming from your car. A healthy exhaust system is crucial for a quiet, efficient and environmentally friendly ride. Problems with your exhaust can affect your engine’s performance, fuel economy and even lead to harmful emissions that impact the environment and your health.

Here’s what to look out for:

  • A dramatic decrease in fuel efficiency – this could indicate a leak in your exhaust system, allowing unburnt fuel to escape.
  • Unusual noises like rattling, roaring, or hissing – these could be signs of a hole in your muffler, a cracked exhaust manifold, or a loose catalytic converter.
  • Strong smell of exhaust fumes inside the car – this could indicate a dangerous leak.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for an exhaust inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you might have some questions about our scope of services as a local exhaust shop in Port Stephens. Here are answers to some common queries:

Yes, a loud exhaust is often a sign of a problem, such as a hole in your muffler, a cracked exhaust manifold, or a loose or damaged exhaust pipe. It’s important to get it checked, as a noisy exhaust can be a safety hazard and may not pass a roadworthy inspection.

Both mufflers and resonators help reduce noise from your exhaust system but they work in different ways. A muffler primarily reduces the overall volume of the exhaust, while a resonator targets specific sound frequencies to create a more refined tone.

Yes. Leaks, blockages or worn components can force your engine to work harder, increasing fuel use. Fixing these issues helps your car run more efficiently and can reduce fuel costs over time.
