Know the Signs of a Damaged Exhaust System
2
The exhaust systems are built to withstand the
high stress and heat conditions of an engines
exhaust.
3
But, they are still prone to corrosion and rust
over time due to the exposure to high-stress
conditions.
4
So, over time a problem with the exhaust system
is quite obvious and its better to be aware of
them.
5
Here are some common signs of a damaged exhaust
system 1- Noisy engine exhaust 2-Smell of
gasoline from the exhaust 3-Burning smell from
the engine bay 4-Hanging exhaust pipe 5- Decrease
in power, accelaration ad fuel efficiency

6
Noisy engine exhaust
7
One of the first symptoms of a problem with the
exhaust is excessive noise.
8
When the exhaust pipes or manifold break, they
cause an exhaust leak which in turn, causes a
noisy engine.
9
The usual sounds that arises are like a hissing
or tapping, which even becomes louder during
acceleration.
10
Smell of gasoline from the exhaust
11
A common symptom of a problem with the exhaust
tubes is a noticeable exhaust smell, similar to
the smell of raw gasoline.
12
If any of the exhaust systems pipes or tubes
become damaged and leak, the exhaust fumes may
find their way into the cabin, giving off a smell
of raw gasoline..
13
Burning smell from engine bay
14
Another common symptom of problems with the
exhaust manifold is a burning smell from the
engine bay.
15
The burning smell is the result of the burning
of the electrical and plastic parts due to the
excess heat produced because of the exhaust leaks.
16
Any burning smells should be checked out
immediately to make sure that there is not a
major issue.
17
Hanging exhaust pipe
18
This is an obvious sign that if any of the pipes
breaks or cracks, they can sometimes hang or drag
underneath the vehicle.
19
You need to see a mechanic right away when the
pipes are visible from the side of the car or
scrape on the road surface.
20
Decrease in power, acceleration, and fuel
efficiency
21
Performance issues are a common symptom of a
problematic exhaust manifold.
22
Generally, the pipes become damaged or corroded,
which results in an exhaust leak.
23
Such a leak can cause the car to experience a
decrease in power, ability to accelerate, and
fuel efficiency due to the loss of back pressure.
