What are the effects of an exhaust pipe leak?

[DeLincoln]

The effects of an exhaust pipe leak include: 1. Reduced exhaust back pressure leading to weak acceleration; 2. Decreased torque at low speeds and increased fuel consumption; 3. Increased vehicle noise; 4. Water produced by the exhaust pipe can corrode it, causing rust; 5. Potential exhaust pipe breakage. The exhaust pipe is located between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler. Its functions are: vibration damping and noise reduction, facilitating installation, and extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Maintenance methods include: 1. Preventing water from entering the inside of the exhaust pipe; 2. Applying anti-rust oil inside the exhaust pipe; 3. Regularly inspecting the condition of the exhaust pipe.
