Exhausts

Handy Exhaust Tips

• Short journeys are worst for an exhaust, as it doesn’t heat up sufficiently to burn off water vapour from the engine – leading to faster corrosion.
• Although most corrosion comes from the inside of an exhaust, during the winter, wash underneath the car to stop salt accumulating on the outside.
• If you have a catalytic converter, this should be checked when the vehicle is serviced. Most ’cats’ will need replacing at least once during a car’s life.

Catalytic Converters

We can also supply and fit a comprehensive range of catalytic converters.

’Cats’, as they are called in the trade, are fitted to all new cars by law. Their purpose is to clean the emissions from the car engine, to remove harmful particles and carbon monoxide gas, so that the final gas from the exhaust pipe is predominantly carbon dioxide and water vapour.

Emissions from vehicles are now a major part of the MOT test, and it is important that your engine and exhaust system is in good order, to prevent premature damage to the catalytic converter.
