What are the effects of exhaust pipe leakage?

[DiOmar]

Exhaust pipe leakage depends on the location of the leak. If the leak is in the front section, it will reduce the backpressure of the exhaust pipe, leading to a weaker engine performance, difficulty in starting, and increased fuel consumption. If the exhaust pipe leaks in the middle section, the water produced by the exhaust pipe will corrode it over time, eventually causing rust. Below are some related details: 1. Exhaust Pipe: The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler. Typically, the three-way catalytic converter, which controls engine pollutant emissions, is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe generally consists of the front exhaust pipe and the rear exhaust pipe. 2. Precautions: If the exhaust pipe leaks, the cause of the leak should be identified promptly, and repairs should be carried out at a repair shop without delay.
