Exhaust

Most people think mufflers just keep their car quiet. While that’s a big part of the job, there’s a lot more to it. The muffler is just one component in the exhaust emission system, which is responsible not only for cutting down on noise pollution, but for cutting down on air pollution, too.

How It Works

Your exhaust emission system really starts at the front of your car, right behind your engine. Exhaust pipes connect to the cylinder heads, where they collect exhaust gases. As the gases move through the system, they’re first analyzed by oxygen sensors, then refined by the catalytic converter and, finally, muffled by the muffler. So by the time those gases leave the vehicle, your emission system has made your car run smoother, cleaner, and quieter. It’s a pretty complex system, but the expert mechanics at Vogels can diagnose the problem and get you right back on the road.
