Mufflers

A muffler rarely fails all at once. It rusts from the inside, a seam opens up, or a hanger breaks and the pipe starts to sag. You notice it as a louder rumble, a rattle underneath at idle, or an exhaust smell in the cabin.

That last one matters. An exhaust leak ahead of the cabin can let carbon monoxide inside. If you smell exhaust while driving, get it checked right away.

Common muffler shop work includes:

  • Muffler replacement when the case is rusted through or packed with debris
  • Pipe and joint repair where leaks start
  • New hangers and clamps to stop rattles and sagging
  • Checking the full system from the manifold back

More than mufflers

The exhaust system also includes the catalytic converter, which cleans emissions. A failing converter can trigger a check engine light and hurt performance. Our catalytic converter replacement page explains the signs.

If you want your truck or car to sound and flow differently, we build custom exhaust systems and dual exhaust conversions.

Questions we hear

Why is my car suddenly so loud?

Usually a hole in the muffler or a pipe, or a joint that has separated. It can also be a broken hanger letting the system hang and crack. We can put it on a lift and show you.

Is it safe to drive with an exhaust leak?

It is not a good idea. Depending on where the leak is, exhaust gases can reach the cabin. If you smell exhaust inside the car, have it checked as soon as you can.

Can you fix just the part that is broken?

Often, yes. We replace the section that failed when the rest of the system is in good shape, and we will tell you if it is not.
