The vehicle exhaust system is responsible for carrying gases away from the vehicle. A leak in the exhaust system can cause these gases to enter your vehicle. There are several signs you may notice if your exhaust system is leaking. For example, your engine may make more noise than usual. You may notice a hissing or popping sound. These noises may be even louder when you accelerate. It will also be harder for your vehicle to accelerate.
Poor fuel economy is something else that you will likely notice. It is harder for your engine to function properly if the exhaust system is leaking. That will decrease fuel efficiency, which will cause you to have to go to the gas station more often. Additionally, the exhaust system can cause your vehicle to have a burning smell. This is a sign that harmful gases are inside your vehicle and you need to bring it to our service center at East Bay Authorized Service Center in Pleasanton, CA.
