Warning Signs

• If you hear rattling sounds the most common cause is loose clamps or brackets. Loose clamps and brackets can be tightened but any corroded elements must be replaced.
• If your vehicle sounds louder than normal or you hear a ticking sound when accelerating may indicate an exhaust leak due to corrosion.
• If your check engine or service engine light comes on it may indicate a faulty or failing catalytic converter.
• The smell of rotten eggs or burning could indicate a problem with the catalytic converter.
• The smell of exhaust fumes may indicate an exhaust leak that can be potential dangerous to you as carbon monoxide may seep into the vehicle.

Note: Excessive idling allows water to condense in your exhaust system, which can lead to corrosion.
