Emission & Exhaust System
Services |
|
The emission and exhaust system starts at the
engine of your car, truck or SUV and runs through exhaust
pipes connected to your engine cylinders, to the oxygen
sensors and the catalytic converter, and then to the muffler
and to the tailpipe.
|
 |
Exhaust pipes
collect exhaust gases |
|
|
Oxygen sensors analyze the
gases and sends the information to the vehicle’s
computer |
|
|
The catalytic
converter refines the gases into less harmful gases
and water vapor |
|
|
The muffler
directs the gases through a series of baffles that
reduce noise and help the |
| |
engine run
smoother. |

Because the emission and exhaust system is
mounted to the bottom of your vehicle, it is subject to some
abuse from potholes, rough roads, and the like. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide and other substances which can
be dangerous if they are flowing into the passenger
compartment. It is a good idea to have your emission and
exhaust system checked about once a year to ensure it is
functioning safely and quietly. This inspection is included
in AAMCO’s 36-point
ProtectCheck Inspection. If you are
experiencing any of the symptoms of exhaust system
problems—noises like a steady roar, rattling, hissing, or
metallic vibrations, or colored smoke from the tailpipe—have
your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
