Signs Your Car Needs an Exhaust or Muffler Repair
Think your vehicle might need exhaust or muffler repair? There are various signs to take note of, including:
- Your check engine light coming on: The check engine light may be triggered by several issues, but problems with the catalytic converter or oxygen sensor are common.
- Your vehicle is running very loudly: Increased engine noise is often a sign of a muffler gone bad.
- Poor engine power: If there's an issue with your exhaust system, you'll notice it when you step on the gas pedal.
- Your fuel economy is suffering: If your engine is struggling with its power, it's going to burn through more fuel faster. So if you notice that your miles per gallon are down, it's another reason you may need a muffler or exhaust service.
- Foul smells: Rotten egg-like odors or other foul smells are common with exhaust issues.
Can You Drive with a Bad Exhaust or Muffler?
Yes, but you should seek service immediately. A healthy exhaust system is key to a well-operating vehicle. While it's OK to drive for a limited time with a bad exhaust or muffler, it's going to cost you more long-term and your vehicle performance will also suffer.
