Tucked away under your car, the exhaust pipes are susceptible to damage from potholes and unnoticed corrosion. However, your exhaust system is vital for engine health and overall vehicle performance. Here are six key reasons to schedule regular exhaust maintenance at your Lincoln dealership.
6 Benefits of Having Your Lincoln’s Exhaust System Inspected at the Dealer
Optimal Engine Performance
For your engine to operate at its best, fumes must flow easily out of the car via the exhaust pipes. If a growing problem clogs your exhaust, back pressure rapidly builds, and the engine cannot draw in as much fresh oxygen, which leads to a fall in power output. You’ll find your car’s acceleration becoming increasingly sluggish.
Routine inspections allow the exhaust to be cleaned and protected against corrosion. Small issues can be identified and repaired early, which means less chance of clogging and a stronger, healthier engine.
Improved Gas Mileage
Exhaust issues also reduce fuel efficiency. If the outflow of exhaust fumes becomes even slightly restricted, the fuel-air mixture inside the engine’s cylinders is thrown out of balance, which hinders the combustion process. This means for each ounce of fuel injected, less power is produced; your gas mileage has fallen. Inspections help to prevent this.
Money Saved on Repairs
An unbalanced mixture of fuel and air due to a clogged exhaust often leads to misfiring spark plugs. Your engine will cough and shudder as it struggles to generate power, and the fouled spark plugs could soon cause further damage in the car that requires expensive repairs.
Regular inspections not only prevent misfiring but also nip burgeoning exhaust problems in the bud. It’s especially important to protect your catalytic converter from harm, as replacing a ruined cat is never cheap.
Noise Reduction and Comfort
You might be surprised by how loud a car’s engine becomes without healthy exhaust pipes and a muffler. If you neglect these components, holes and cracks could appear, which ruin the pipes’ noise-reducing qualities. As a result, your drives will become far less peaceful.
Cleaner Breathing Air
The catalytic converter prevents the engine’s most toxic fumes from entering your car and the environment. If your cat and surrounding pipes aren’t inspected regularly, a fault could gradually develop that eventually allows noxious, foul-smelling fumes to enter your cabin. This would be hazardous for your health.
Effortless Emission Tests
It’s wise to have your exhaust system checked before an emission test. Our technicians can get everything in good working order and ensure your car passes the test with flying colors.
