One of the most important byproducts produced in any combustion engine is exhaust. An engine creates power by burning fuels at high temperatures, and while it accelerates your car forward, exhaust is also created. It generally consists of nitrogen gas, water vapor and carbon dioxide, and it’s important that your exhaust system prevents these from getting trapped in your engine. A malfunctioning removal system can lead to big problems and at Cardinale Nissan, we can help you recognize the symptoms.

 

A clean engine allows your car to operate at maximum efficiency, and your muffler and exhaust system work hard to remove pollutants. If the system stops diverting exhaust fumes from the engine, they instead build up and can eat away at critical parts. Getting a regular car inspection is a great way to catch this problem before it becomes too serious.

 

One of the biggest causes of abnormal vibrations in your car is a damaged muffler and the severity of the vibrations is often directly related to the size of the hole or leak. If the hole is not patched, it could lead to greatly reduced fuel economy and eventual damage to more expensive components.

 

The most expensive part of your #exhaust system is the catalytic converter, so it is important to identify any potential problems early. A damaged converter will often make a sound similar to a box of coins being shaken, and without the converter the exhaust system will be extremely ineffective. Head into Cardinale Nissan as soon as possible if you notice this sound.
