Midas has a long association with exhaust service, but modern exhaust systems involve more than mufflers. Pipes, hangers, catalytic converters, sensors and connections can all affect noise, emissions and vehicle operation.
Signs of an exhaust concern
- New or unusually loud exhaust noise
- Rattling or vibration underneath the vehicle
- Visible exhaust damage or corrosion
- Exhaust odor where it should not be present
- An emissions-related check-engine warning
Exhaust leak diagnosis
Exhaust repair may involve leaks, damaged pipes, mufflers, hangers, connections or other components. The correct repair depends on where the problem is located and what the inspection finds.
Safety matters
Exhaust gases should not enter the passenger compartment. If you suspect fumes inside the vehicle, avoid unnecessary driving and have the vehicle evaluated promptly.
Repair the cause, not just the sound
A loud vehicle can have several causes, from a loose heat shield to a damaged pipe, muffler or connection. An inspection helps identify the failed component before repair.
