What are the impacts of a leaking car exhaust pipe?

[VanDylan]

The impacts of a leaking car exhaust pipe include: 1. Affecting the car's power; 2. Increasing fuel consumption; 3. Exacerbating noise levels. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler, typically including a three-way catalytic converter to control engine pollutant emissions. The exhaust pipe generally includes a front exhaust pipe and a rear exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. The structure of the exhaust pipe is a double-layer corrugated tube covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance the muffling effect, the corrugated tube can be equipped with an expansion joint or mesh sleeve internally.
