Exhaust Repairs

Many people think an exhaust leak or broken pipe is nothing more than an noisy inconvenience. The fact is, a faulty exhaust system can have a severe negative impact on engine performance and  increase your emissions output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your vehicle’s exhaust system is made up of many parts. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Exhaust valves: these valves release combusted gas from your engine and allow them to enter your exhaust system.
  • Exhaust manifold
  • Catalytic converter: Converts some toxins to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water for cleaner emissions.
  • Exhaust pipes including front pipes, down pipes, mid pipes and tail pipes.
  • Muffler/resonator

Muffler repairs can range from $50 to at least $500 to fix a muffler. The most common muffler repairs include patching holes, tightening a loose connection, and re-welding a split seam or broken hanger.

Other exhaust system repairs can also range widely. For the most accurate quote we ask that you call and speak with one of our friendly technicians to get your no-obligation quote.
