Exhaust System
The exhaust system is working very hard to control the harmful exhaust gases that are excreted from a vehicle. Many vehicle owners don’t give enough credit to the exhaust system and only think of it when it makes a sound. However, the exhaust system is part of a bigger picture that also involves your emission control system.
The emission control and exhaust system work closely together in order to regulate the harmful gases and pollutants that are emitted from your vehicle and control your car’s noise at the same time.
What is the function of the exhaust system?
While the exhaust system is there to remove the harmful gases produced in your vehicle’s engine, the exhaust system does a lot more. There are four main functions of your vehicle’s exhaust system:
- Control noise
- Carry away gases
- Improve engine performance
- Improve fuel consumption

- The first one uses a sound-absorbing material
- The second one is a baffled chambered muffler
