EXHAUST SERVICES IN MERCED, CA
Visit Merced Radiator Shop for all your Exhaust Repairs
A muffler can easily last 10 to 15 years, and it’s often easy to tell when it needs repairing or replacing. Mufflers usually need replacing when exposed to severe weather conditions or develop holes and rust. However, with your exhaust system, the only sign it’s breaking down may be when the engine light illuminates. Symptoms of a failing exhaust include vibrations or rattling, decreased fuel efficiency, a bad smell, water dripping from your muffler, or rust around the muffler. Merced Radiator Shop is your go-to shop for all exhaust services and repairs. Visit our shop at 1640 W 13 St Merced, CA 95341 for certified auto repairs, and let our technicians ease your worries.
Protect Your Exhaust System and Engine
Your exhaust’s job is to remove the dirty air produced by the engine by redirecting fumes away from your engine through the catalytic converter and then out the tailpipe. This process keeps your vehicle running smoothly, but the gases and fumes weaken metals and other parts such as the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter. Your engine misfiring can lead to other problems with your catalytic converter. The problem could be as simple as a clogged catalytic converter. Be sure not to ignore any warning signals such as a check engine light, not changing your spark plugs, or getting regular maintenance.
Tailpipes are exposed to corrosive gases and extremely high temperatures and, over time, can begin to rust or crack at any of the several flanges. If you notice a strong exhaust smell, a loud noise, or that your tailpipe is dragging or hanging from your vehicle, it may be time to visit Merced Radiator Shop.
The exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases from the cylinders, transfers them through the catalytic converter and then to the car’s mufflers before releasing them to the atmosphere. Black soot around the manifold is a sure sign of a leak and a reason to bring your car in for repairs. Like in most cases with the exhaust system, your engine light may come on. Ignoring it could cause more damage to your exhaust system or engine and create more costly repairs. A cracked exhaust manifold will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test.
