2. The exhaust systems are built to withstand the high stress and heat conditions of an engine’s exhaust.

3. But, they are still prone to corrosion and rust over time due to the exposure to high-stress conditions.

4. So, over time a problem with the exhaust system is quite obvious and its better to be aware of them.

5. Here are some common signs of a damaged exhaust system: 1- Noisy engine exhaust 2-Smell of gasoline from the exhaust 3-Burning smell from the engine bay 4-Hanging exhaust pipe 5- Decrease in power, accelaration ad fuel efficiency

7. One of the first symptoms of a problem with the exhaust is excessive noise.

8. When the exhaust pipes or manifold break, they cause an exhaust leak which in turn, causes a noisy engine.

9. The usual sounds that arises are like a hissing or tapping, which even becomes louder during acceleration.

11. A common symptom of a problem with the exhaust tubes is a noticeable exhaust smell, similar to the smell of raw gasoline.

12. If any of the exhaust systems pipes or tubes become damaged and leak, the exhaust fumes may find their way into the cabin, giving off a smell of raw gasoline..

14. Another common symptom of problems with the exhaust manifold is a burning smell from the engine bay.

15. The burning smell is the result of the burning of the electrical and plastic parts due to the excess heat produced because of the exhaust leaks.

16. Any burning smells should be checked out immediately to make sure that there is not a major issue.

18. This is an obvious sign that if any of the pipes breaks or cracks, they can sometimes hang or drag underneath the vehicle.

19. You need to see a mechanic right away when the pipes are visible from the side of the car or scrape on the road surface.

21. Performance issues are a common symptom of a problematic exhaust manifold.

22. Generally, the pipes become damaged or corroded, which results in an exhaust leak.

23. Such a leak can cause the car to experience a decrease in power, ability to accelerate, and fuel efficiency due to the loss of back pressure.
