When your exhaust system is in need of repair, it is best to get an estimate from several mechanics in order to find out exactly what needs to be repaired, and how much it is going to cost. Your exhaust system is a highly important part of your vehicle, and you want to avoid the fumes that may come about as a result of a poorly functioning exhaust system or muffler. Many people assume that it is the muffler that is in need of repair when they see dark colored smoke coming out of it, but is actually the exhaust system—usually the catalytic converter—that is failing. The catalytic converter greatly reduces the amount of air pollution produced by your auto and should be checked regularly by a trained technician. Another part of the exhaust system that should be regularly maintained is the distributor. When your distributor is faulty, you will see sharply reduced gas mileage for your auto, as well as reduced performance.
