The exhaust system for your Ford vehicle plays the part of expelling the engine fumes created from the combustion process safely. There are several exhaust components that do this job sufficiently. Here is how they function and what to look for in an exhaust system gone bad.

From the combustion of fuel and oxygen in your engine, there are toxic fumes created. Mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. If inhaled, these toxins can make humans sick as well as damage the environment. The catalytic converter does the job of converting these gases into less harmful exhaust for both. By pushing the gas through metals like rhodium, platinum, and palladium, these gases are transformed into carbon dioxide and water molecules.

How to Tell if Your Exhaust is Failing?

After the conversion process, the exhaust air is sent down the muffler and through the tailpipe of the back of your car and into the air. If your exhaust feels like it is on the fritz, you will notice symptoms like:

Rotten egg or fuel smell
Rattling or vibrating from undercarriage
A check engine light
Decrease in fuel efficiency
