Jacksonville Exhaust System Repair & Maintenance

Muffler

---

The muffler is the exhaust system component principally responsible for reducing the sounds made by the engine. Mufflers and other exhaust system components are often replaced together because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.

Maintenance and automobile:

A louder than normal sound from the exhaust or exhaust coming from an unusual place in your automobile are warning signs of potential exhaust leaks, including odorless automobilebon monoxide, which poses a serious health hazard. If you suspect any problems with your exhaust system have it checked immediately by a Jacksonville AAMCO mechanic. Your automobile’s exhaust system should be inspected periodically in any case to maintain your automobile’s safety. Bring your automobile to the mechanics at Jacksonville AAMCO.

Exhaust Manifold

---

The exhaust manifold is responsible for routing the exhaust gases out of the engine cylinder to the exhaust system. Exhaust manifolds and other exhaust system components are often replaced together because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.

Maintenance and automobile:

Exhaust manifolds should be checked periodically by a Jacksonville AAMCO mechanic to make sure mounts are secure and no cracks have developed. Exhaust manifolds and the automobile’s entire exhaust system should be inspected periodically to maintain your automobile’s safety. Bring your automobile to the mechanics at Jacksonville AAMCO.

Exhaust Pipes

---

The exhaust manifold is responsible for routing the exhaust gases out of the engine cylinder to the exhaust system. Several exhaust pipes also route the exhaust away from the engine, into the catalytic converter, the muffler, and then out through the tail pipe. Exhaust pipes and other exhaust system components are often replaced together because of the worn condition of all the components or because sections are welded together.

Maintenance and automobile:

Exhaust manifolds should be checked periodically by a Jacksonville AAMCO mechanic to make sure mounts are secure and no cracks have developed. Exhaust pipes and the automobile’s entire exhaust system should be inspected periodically to maintain your automobile’s safety. Bring your automobile to the mechanics at Jacksonville AAMCO.

Catalytic Converter

---

The purpose of the exhaust system is to reduce the sounds made by the engine, reduce the temperature of the exhaust, and to control the emissions from the automobile. The catalytic converter takes the gases created by the combustion of the fuel and turns the gases into more harmless emissions that do much less damage to the environment. Today’s automobiles often have more than one catalytic converter.

Maintenance and automobile:

The useful life of a catalytic converter depends principally on proper maintenance of the automobile. If your automobile runs rough, there is smoke coming from the tailpipe, or the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT appears on the instrument panel, have your automobile checked immediately by a Jacksonville AAMCO mechanic in order to avoid potential expensive damage to the catalytic converter. Have your automobile’s exhaust system inspected periodically to maintain your automobile’s safety. Bring your automobile to the mechanics at Jacksonville AAMCO.
