Your exhaust system is designed to remove harmful gases from the engine and evacuate them to the atmosphere. In many cases, a “tuned exhaust” can result in more power and a better sound. We at Expert Auto Center have many years of experience inspecting and installing both replacement and performance exhaust systems. We know how to give you the power and sound you want and need!
Just as important, an exhaust system must be free-flowing and tightly sealed to prevent toxic gases from escaping into the passenger area or any area too close to the vehicle. Signs of leakage are ticking noises while the engine is running, a “rotten egg” smell, or excessive drowsiness when at the wheel. If you’re experiencing any of these systems, let Expert Auto Center do a quick inspection to make sure your exhaust system is reliable and safe. Call us at (316) 440-6600 at the first sign of any damage.
There are also many sensors along the length of your exhaust system that measure exhaust gas content, to help the engine management system adjust the fuel injection to the correct air/fuel ratio. These are regular service items, and may need replacement if not working at maximum efficiency.
Call Expert Auto Center right away if your vehicle is having any of the following symptoms.
- Misfire, pulsation or jerking that changes with engine speed.
- Exhaust has a steady sputtering sound at idle or low speed.
- Sometimes your vehicle may display symptoms like a foul smell.
