FAQs

Unfortunately you can’t prevent exhaust rust entirely. No exhaust lasts forever, but regular servicing, longer drives, avoiding impacts, and keeping mounts secure will dramatically extend its life.

Not necessarily. Exhaust leaks can let carbon monoxide enter the cabin and may damage emissions components. Driving with a damaged exhaust can have all sorts of negative effect, including your overall performance and your MOT test.

Once a year during your service is ideal, but book sooner if you notice noise changes, strange smells, drop in fuel economy or rust starting.

If an exhaust has a hole or crack, it needs to be fixed right away. Not only can this cause #toxic fumes to enter your car’s cabin but it could also increase the risk of fire. An exhaust leak can cause the engine to run too hot or even fail due to lack of back-pressure from the silencer and tailpipe. If left unchecked, it may also result in increased emissions which could lead to failed emission tests and costly repairs.
