A Leaky Exhaust System Can Be Fatal

Since your vehicle operates via the internal combustion engine, which operates on gasoline, the exhaust must have somewhere to go. If it cannot be directed away from the engine via the vehicle’s exhaust system, it could end up leaking into the vehicle’s interior, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you notice any of the warning signs of an exhaust system problem, please make an appointment with Horsepower Autocare right away. The biggest warning sign is a hissing or popping noise coming from the tailpipe while the vehicle is running. This usually indicates a blockage somewhere. You should also take note of any vibrations when touching the steering wheel, foot pedals, or seats. This could mean a rusty system. Finally, if you notice a loss of fuel economy, there’s a better than average chance the exhaust system is to blame.
