What to Do If the Exhaust Pipe Leaks?

[MacElena]

If a car's exhaust pipe leaks, it is usually due to long-term water accumulation causing rust damage, which leads to muffler failure. Replacing the muffler will solve the issue. Additional Information: 1. Typically, a car's exhaust system consists of several components, arranged from the engine as follows: exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, flexible joint, main muffler, and auxiliary muffler. 2. If there is damage in the middle of the exhaust pipe, it will result in increased noise from the car. 3. The most common damage to a car's exhaust pipe is the muffler being corroded by the exhaust gases emitted by the engine. 4. If the catalytic converter is damaged, not only will the noise increase, but the exhaust emissions will also fail to meet standards. This can affect the car's power performance. However, it does not necessarily mean a loss of power; in some cases, it might even increase power.
