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:

Ensure your catalytic converter is functioning correctly, as this device helps reduce harmful emissions. You can also consider upgrading to a more efficient exhaust system or using a fuel additive that helps reduce emissions.

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.

A performance exhaust system can improve your car’s horsepower, torque and fuel efficiency. It can also give your car a sportier sound. However, it’s important to choose a system that’s compatible with your car and driving style.

Yes, we can! We have experience working on all kinds of vehicles. We can help you choose an exhaust system that meets your needs and preferences, whether you need something more durable for off-roading, a high-performance system for racing or a custom exhaust for your unique vehicle.
