Questions and answers
Is an exhaust leak dangerous?
It can be. A leak ahead of the cabin can let carbon monoxide inside. If you smell exhaust in the car, drive with the windows open and have it checked right away.
Why did my catalytic converter fail?
Converters usually fail because of another problem, such as a misfire or an engine burning oil. We look for the root cause so the new converter lasts.
Can an exhaust leak cause an emissions failure?
Yes. A leak ahead of an oxygen sensor can throw off its readings and set a code.
