What is the Exhaust System and Why is it Important?
The Expert Technicians at Brooklyn Mitsubishi know that the Exhaust System is much more than a pipe that exits the engine and carries exhaust fumes out the tailpipe. The Exhaust System on your vehicle is rather sophisticated with several components working together to keep harmful gasses away from the cabin and out of the environment. For example, the catalytic converter is uniquely positioned to reduce dangerous gasses, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and other hydrocarbons. Positioned between the engine and the muffler, the catalytic converter requires the other exhaust system components to function properly to get its important job done protecting the environment. Beyond environmental protection, the Exhaust System is related to engine performance as combusted fumes need an escape route for the engine to perform efficiently. If there is a problem with the Exhaust System, it can cause the engine to misfire, experience hard starting, or won’t even start at all. The Exhaust System has these two overarching jobs:
- Allow for the efficient flow of exhaust fumes away from the engine
- Turns dangerous combustion gasses into less-toxic fumes
