What to Do When a Car's Exhaust Pipe is Blocked?

[OFinn]

To address a blocked car exhaust pipe, the solution is to remove the obstructing object using appropriate tools. The impacts of a blocked exhaust pipe include: 1. Reduced acceleration power, making it difficult to increase engine RPM and vehicle speed; 2. Frequent forced downshifting in automatic transmission vehicles; 3. Decreased engine power and excessive exhaust emissions; 4. Engine shaking, illuminated malfunction indicator light, and frequent stalling; 5. Continuous temperature rise in the exhaust pipe, 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 ingress inside the exhaust pipe; 2. Applying anti-rust oil inside the exhaust pipe; 3. Regularly inspecting the condition of the exhaust pipe.
