Should the exhaust pipe be welded or replaced during repair?
1 Answers
It can be welded, but if it's too thin, welding may not be ideal, and it's recommended to replace the exhaust pipe. The angle of the exhaust pipe can affect the vehicle. Exhaust pipe angle at 45 degrees: Within this emission angle range, when the vehicle is in operation, high-velocity exhaust gases can blow dust off the ground. The faster the vehicle speed, the greater the dust pollution. Additionally, the greater the vehicle's power, the higher the gas flow and velocity, leading to increased dust pollution. According to market research, the areas most severely affected by dust pollution are along highways, where higher traffic volumes result in more significant dust pollution. Furthermore, dust pollution is also related to the cleanliness of the road surface; the more loose dust on the road surface, the greater the amount of dust blown up by vehicle exhaust. Exhaust pipe angle directed towards the sides of the vehicle: If the exhaust pipe angle is directed towards the sides of the vehicle, the exhaust gases can cause thermal airflow impact injuries to pedestrians during operation. Moreover, the vehicle exhaust contains unburned atomized oil residues, including pollutants such as sulfides and carbides, which can cause personal harm to humans.
