We’re all looking for ways to be eco-friendly, and your car’s NH exhaust system plays a large role in this! However, the best way to maintain the health of the environment is to maintain the health of your car’s exhaust! If your car runs on gasoline, your car will create fumes. These fumes are meant to be removed by your engine, and be vented away from the vehicle, thanks in part to your exhaust system! Here at Lou’s, we always recommend an annual exhaust check. Doing this will help your health and the environment as well!
Exhaust Systems Are Necessary
In general, your car’s exhaust system is essential for one reason: it cleans the toxic air that comes from your engine while it’s running. If everything is running properly, your car should pass its emissions test. However, if there is a clog, say in the catalytic converter, there could be issues, leading to an emissions test failure. This is always an apparent reason to have your exhaust system checked.
The Side-kick
We can’t forget the catalytic converter, the real star of the show! This important side-kick sits between two of your exhaust pipes, and its job is to get hot. Yep, that’s it. The catalytic converter burns away most of the harmful gasses created during combustion. Without this vital part, these harmful gasses would exit the muffler and pollute the air.
Inspect Your Exhaust System Regularly
A sound exhaust system will help the environment (and the safety of the car’s passengers). While regulations on exhaust fumes have become more stringent, your car mechanic can ensure that your car is up to par with annual inspections. This will keep your car running smoothly for a worry-free and environmentally safe ride.
Tip: If your car isn’t picking up speed or you can smell your car’s fumes while driving, you may have a hole in your exhaust system. This issue should be checked immediately.
