• Exhaust System Allston

  All exhaust system repairs, minor leaks to complete system replacements. Mufflers Catalytic Converters All Exhaust System components replacement Car Exhaust System In order for a car to run, fuel and air must be burned in the combustion chamber, producing at least six different emissions, including the extremely harmful gases carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and nitrogen monoxide. The car exhaust system is responsible for removing these emissions, allowing the car to be safe for driver and passengers as well as the environment. There are two other crucial functions the exhaust system serves. The first is to quiet the loud explosive noises of combustion. The other is to ensure your car is running with the most fuel efficiency. Parts: The exhaust system is a series of chambers and pipes that starts at the engine and ends at the back of the car with the tail pipe. Most cars have one exhaust system, although vehicles with eight cylinder engines may have two exhaust systems, one for the right cylinders and one for the left. In this case, it is important that both systems are running efficiently, though they are basically the same. There are five main parts in a typical exhaust system. Exhaust Manifold: The manifold is at the forefront of the exhaust system, attached to the engine at the cylinder head. It is responsible for venting the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The manifold also burns any left over fuel not properly burned in the engine. Oxygen Sensor: Located in or near the manifold, the oxygen sensor sends oxygen level readings to the car’s computer, and from here, the computer regulates how much fuel is needed in the engine for the best fuel efficiency. Exhaust Pipes: These pipes carry exhaust through the entire system. They connect to the manifold at the start and end with the tailpipe where exhaust makes its final exit outside the vehicle. Catalytic Converter: This important piece comes after the exhaust manifold and serves to convert the harmful carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon gases into carbon dioxide and water vapor, making the exhaust safer for the environment. Although a car will run without a converter, it is illegal to drive without one in most states. Muffler: As its name suggests, the muffler acts as a silencer to the extremely loud noises of combustion occurring throughout the exhaust system. The combustion sound waves travel through the system until they reach the muffler, usually connected to the tailpipe of a car. The muffler is a metal box containing a series of tubes called baffles, some perforated, that the waves must travel though, losing energy along the way and thus becoming quieter. At the back of the muffler is the resonator, which, through built up pressure cancels out the sound waves. Other mufflers work by using fiberglass to absorb the sound waves. The best use both methods. Changing a car’s muffler will give the exhaust system a distinctly different sound.
