Exhaust noise can come from cracked joints, flex sections, damaged hangers, heat shields or internal muffler and catalyst faults. We inspect the full path to identify the actual source.
A catalyst efficiency fault is not always caused by the catalytic converter. Engine mixture and sensor faults should be considered before replacement.
