We've all been in that difficult position where you've heard something wrong with our car but haven't been sure what it is. If you think that you might be having exhaust problems, it is nice to know where these problems come from and what you should be looking for. At Lamarque Ford Inc in Kenner, LA, we are always interested in providing our customers with great information, so we're excited to tell you a bit more about what we know about exhaust systems.
One of the first signs that you should look for is excessive engine or exhaust noises. For instance, if you have a leaking manifold, the gaskets are rusted, and the mufflers or pipes have cracks in the system, you're likely to notice a change in the sounds that your car makes.
You might also notice that you have reduced fuel economy. The reason that some cars have a reduced fuel economy when there are exhaust problems is that the engine has to work harder.
