Replacement Exhaust Kits

Is your car sounding louder than it used to? Do you hear rattling or thumping noises coming from under the car when you go over bumps or potholes? Do parts under your car appear to be closer to the ground? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you probably have exhaust system problems. A perforated muffler or exhaust pipe can result in an exhaust leak and noise; loose exhaust shields and defective catalytic converters can rattle, and broken hangers can make the exhaust system hang too low. For these and other exhaust system woes our replacement exhaust kits can be the solution.

Unusual or excessive noise is the most common exhaust system complaint, but even if you don’t hear anything strange you could still have an exhaust leak, which is the most serious exhaust system fault. Engine exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a noxious, colorless and odorless gas that can enter the vehicle cabin undetected, and in sufficient concentrations cause severe illness and even death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include dizziness and confusion, and impaired judgment that could result in an accident. This is why regular complete exhaust system inspections are so important.

But while a visual inspection will reveal obvious defects like a holed muffler, cracked exhaust pipe, and broken hangers, it may not tell the whole story. Exhaust systems can rust from the inside, especially on vehicles driven short distances in cold weather. The system never gets hot enough to evaporate condensation, and the moisture combines with chemicals in the exhaust to create corrosive compounds that erode the metal. The metal can not only become very thin and on the verge of perforation, but corrosion can also cause other problems. Some pipes have double-wall tubing and the inside of the tube can collapse and cause a flow restriction, resulting in poor performance and fuel economy. The baffles in the muffler can also collapse from corrosion and cause restriction.

The bottom line – if one part of your exhaust system is defective, there’s a very good chance the rest of the system is on the way out too. For a safe and effective repair, the smart move is to replace the entire exhaust system, and our replacement exhaust kits make it easy. Just enter your vehicle’s year, make and model and select a brand and product options. You’ll see everything you need to completely replace your exhaust system including muffler, pipes, catalytic converter, and even gaskets, clamps, and hangers. Each part has been made to fit together just like the original equipment, with the same exhaust system routing and using the same style mounts and hangers. And with our exhaust systems you can be assured of quiet operation and the same level of vehicle performance.

In addition to making it easy to get all the right parts for your exhaust system in one place, our replacement exhaust kits also take the hassle out of the repair process. Factory exhaust systems are often welded together assemblies, and when fasteners are used after a few years they can rust so badly that they too can seem like they’re welded together when you try to disassemble them. When you install a complete replacement exhaust kit you won’t have to deal with cutting pipes, broken bolts and the inevitable skinned knuckles that result from trying to replace individual components and mate new parts with old ones. Plus you’ll have the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing your entire exhaust system is in top shape for safe driving.
