Signs You Need Exhaust or Muffler Repair

Several signs may indicate your vehicle needs exhaust or muffler repair. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to bring your car to Hiller Automotive:

Loud engine noise: A failing muffler or exhaust leak can significantly increase engine noise.
Check engine light: Issues with your catalytic converter or oxygen sensor often trigger the check engine light.
Decreased power: A malfunctioning exhaust system can reduce engine power, especially when accelerating.
Poor fuel economy: A faulty exhaust system forces your engine to work harder, leading to increased fuel consumption.
Strange odors: Smells like rotten eggs or burning rubber are strong indicators of exhaust problems.

Is it Safe to Drive with a Bad Exhaust or Muffler?
While you can drive for a short period with a damaged exhaust or muffler, it’s not recommended for the long term. Not only will your vehicle’s performance suffer, but you could also be exposing yourself to harmful emissions.

Catalytic Converter Replacement

The catalytic converter is an essential component of your vehicle’s exhaust system. It helps convert harmful emissions into less harmful pollutants before they exit the tailpipe. Over time, catalytic converters can fail, leading to increased emissions and decreased vehicle performance.

Signs of a Failing Catalytic Converter

Rotten egg smell: This odor is caused by the sulfur in the fuel and indicates your catalytic converter may not be functioning properly.
Check engine light: A malfunctioning catalytic converter is often detected by the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system.
Dark smoke from the tailpipe: This is a clear sign that your catalytic converter is no longer effectively filtering pollutants.
Sluggish acceleration: If you notice a delay or sluggish response when you press the gas pedal, your catalytic converter could be clogged or damaged.
Metal clanging sounds: Loose components inside a failing catalytic converter can produce a clanging noise when your vehicle is idling.
