Before starting any procedure for replacing components of the exhaust system, the most important step is certainly the visual inspection.
It is through this inspection that an experienced mechanic will identify dents, bends, holes, cracks, corrosion, or even gas leaks at weld points, which may be caused by collisions or impacts from poorly maintained roads.
The professional responsible for the inspection should begin by detecting unusual noises from the exhaust while the vehicle is running. Then, they should visually and manually check all components of the exhaust system to locate any damage, such as the ones already mentioned.
Another useful technique is to gently tap the back of the hand on the exhaust to check for the presence of catalytic converter residue inside the muffler. It’s always good to rely on technology, but also to value the intuition and experience of professionals in the field.
If the removal and replacement of components are necessary, other procedures – such as disconnecting flanges and hangers, as well as making cuts at specific points – will be required from the responsible professional, and everything must be done with the utmost care to preserve the integrity of the remaining elements in the system.
