Exhaust System

Even the simple exhaust system has not escaped control by the automotive computer. In addition to performing its traditional functions of directing hazardous gases safely away from the vehicle’s occupants and reducing exhaust noises to acceptable levels, it has become a primary component in reducing automotive emissions.

Exhaust System Maintenance Tips

• Check for leaks in exhaust every 20,000 miles
