Can You Still Drive with Abnormal Noises from the Car Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
You should not drive when there are abnormal noises from the car exhaust pipe. Below is a detailed explanation of the possible causes of such noises: Clogged Catalytic Converter: The catalytic converter functions to purify exhaust gases while reducing noise. Different vehicles have different catalytic converters, varying in length, thickness, and the density of the internal filter. The specific condition depends on the exhaust flow. Regular cleaning of the catalytic converter can eliminate abnormal noises. Aging or Water Accumulation in the Exhaust Pipe: The exhaust pipe is connected to the engine via a flexible joint. If this joint becomes damaged or aged, it can easily cause abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe. Additionally, water accumulation in the exhaust pipe can also lead to such noises. To remove the water, simply block the right exhaust pipe with a towel and rev the engine, allowing the water to be expelled.
