Exhausts
At Surefix, we stock exhausts to fit the widest selection of cars and light commercial vehicles, so when your exhaust fails you are never very far away from the solution. Exhaust FailureExhausts have four main functions: to control noise, to direct exhaust fumes away from passengers, to improve the performance of the engine and to improve fuel consumption. An exhaust is a series of pipes that links the engine to a silencer and a catalytic converter. The tailpipe is the part of the exhaust that you can see extending from the back of the car. The silencer joins onto the tailpipe, then a series of further pipes joins the silencer to the catalytic converter and then the engine. How does it work?It's only when you hear or drive a car with a damaged silencer that you realise what a huge difference it makes to reducing noise levels. And the way a silencer works is quite fascinating. It contains a deceptively simple set of tubes that are finely tuned to reflect the sound waves produced by an engine so that they cancel each other out.
