Most exhaust problems can be diagnosed by listening out for unfamiliar noises or with a visual check underneath the car.
The muffler is the part of the exhaust that usually needs attention first, as it is the furthest away from the engine and is the most likely to be corroded by acidic moisture. This is because these parts remain relatively cold and give exhaust gases a chance to condense and form pools of corrosive acid inside the system. You'll know that you have a problem with your silencer because your exhaust starts making a loud roaring noise.
Other noises to listen out for include hissing, which indicates a crack in the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe or a leaking gasket. A chugging noise could mean a blockage in the exhaust system.

Your ears and nose can alert you to some exhaust leaks, but they may not be able to detect all leaks, including ones that could allow carbon monoxide inside your vehicle, which can be hazardous to your health. A hands-on inspection at A thru S Enterprises is the best way to determine if you have a leaky exhaust.
