DOES HAVING A HOLE IN YOUR EXHAUST USE MORE FUEL?
As far as the function of the automobile body is concerned, the exhaust pipe of a car plays a role in reducing vibration and noise and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system. The exhaust gas of the car is under great pressure when leaving the engine, and the noise produced by it may make people feel crazy. At this time, the exhaust pipe of the car plays a major role in muffling. The muffler is installed in the interior, which greatly reduces the noise of the car. If the exhaust pipe is severely damaged, the car’s emissions will be severely substandard, and the car will also make noise. In addition, faulty exhaust will affect the car and increase our economic loss.
1.MOT Failure
MOT testing has never been more rigorous than it is now. Under the strict new regulations, the level of failure depends on how dangerous they are. Emissions from diesel vehicles have also received greater attention.
According to MOT tests, nearly 750,000 cars have failed due to substandard emissions. The failure rate of diesel vehicles has increased by 448%.
2. Reduce Fuel Economy and Increase Emissions
There are many reasons for carbon deposits in vehicle valves: blocked air filters, injector failures, poor atomization, oxygen sensor failure, air intake system leaks, and spark plug flashovers. They affect fuel economy and lead to reduced engine efficiency. The main solution is to clean the air filter, check the air intake system, check the oil pressure and replace the injector, etc.
3. Affect Other Car Parts
The whole exhaust system consists of: exhaust manifold, three-way catalyst, middle section muffler, tail section muffler and the pipes connecting them. Except that the two ends of the exhaust manifold are fixed with bolts, the other entire pipelines are suspended under the car with rubber lifting ears. If the exhaust pipe is deformed, it will affect the exhaust efficiency. Deformation and displacement will interfere with other parts of the chassis and make abnormal noises. Prolonged collision and friction will cause wear and tear on other auto parts. If there is corrosion, the biggest impact is noise. Because the muffler leaks air, exhaust noise will come out of the hole. Leaking exhaust fumes can also impact and corrode other parts of the car.
4. Increase Expensive Repairs
As far as the function of the automobile body is concerned, the exhaust pipe of a car plays a role in reducing vibration and noise and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system. If you don’t immediately repair a damaged exhaust system, the damage will continue to grow until it affects other car parts. Not only will it increase fuel consumption, it may also generate loud noises during driving. In the end, you will bear more costs for repairing or replacing exhaust system parts.
Therefore, we have to choose a car with a good exhaust system from the beginning. If you find that the exhaust pipe is damaged, you must go to the 4S shop for maintenance in time, and let the professional check the car and repair it.
