What Happens If the Exhaust Pipe Is Blocked?

[SanJune]

The consequences of a blocked exhaust pipe include: 1. The car experiences difficulty in acceleration, with the engine RPM and speed struggling to increase; 2. Automatic transmission vehicles are forced to frequently downshift; 3. The engine's power output decreases, leading to excessive exhaust emissions; 4. The engine may shake, the malfunction indicator light may turn on, and the engine may frequently stall; 5. The exhaust pipe temperature continuously rises, potentially reaching the ignition point of nearby components and causing spontaneous combustion. The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing flexible connection for the exhaust system to reduce vibration and noise. 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.
