Your exhaust is important, but you might not realise it’s experiencing issues until things go wrong.
This is usually detected when the silencer or muffler stops doing the job it was designed to do. There is more to your car’s exhaust system than just muffling the sound of the spent gasses coming out of the engine.
A modern exhaust system contributes towards both a vehicle’s performance and its economy, along with filtering out many of the harmful gasses and particles that engines inadvertently produce
