Mufflers and Tailpipes
Mufflers and tailpipes are components of an exhaust system. The tailpipes guide the exhaust away from the engine and into the muffler. The muffler reduces the noise coming from the engine through the tailpipe.

hi the black smoke is your injectors should get them checked out.
if they are the electrical 1s, they charge to test them, if they the non machincal version its free to test them.
What could cause white smoke to come out of the exhaust of a 1989 240sx?
White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Usually a blown head gasket or cracked head. STOP driving the car immediately. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to run this engine. Sounds like steam......you may be getting coolant into the combustion chamber.
Black soot coming out of tailpipe.?
Running rich, depending on year of vehicle it's possibly a o2 sensor, fuel system problem, carb if so equipped. Time for you to do some diagnostics
Will drilling holes in your exhaust give you the same effects as a performance exhaust?
NO...if you want to drill holes in your exhaust just to make it louder your only going to get a small grinding sound..not much of a difference..just makes ur exhaust sound like its about to fall off...BUT if you just simply buy a Glasspack for like 30 bucks and have it put on for like 40, or put it on yourself...then sound will not be a problem, youll have a nice grumble sound...as for performance exhausts..your paying for the internal part of the muffler system like the fiberglass and all the intricate crap.
What would cause blue smoke to come out of your tailpipe on 97 Volvo 850?
Blue smoke is burning oil.
Blue smoke is burning oil.
What can cause white smoke from the coolant?
white smoke from coolant usually indicates oil in coolant,this usually means a blown headgasket
Smell the oil, if smells like some gas is in it. then it would be ur fuel pressure regulator.
it would cause overheating but the smoke is probally coming from some sort of water or antifreeze in combustion chamber
Can blue and white smoke coming out of the exhaust be do to bad gas?
No, it cannot. Blue smoke is a sign of oil burning, and white smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely have a blown head gasket cracked head or both.
Why is my car blowing black an blue smoke and no power?
your car leaked oil into the combustion chamber. blue smoke= burnt oil, the loss of power is from inproper combustion
I wouldn't have thought exhaust end-can packing would significantly increase power output, or reduce back-pressure. That is normally dealt with by the tuned length of the pipe itself and overall diameter of the exhaust-can internals. Removing the packing will obviously make it noisier, reduce any heat build-up and possible reduce the weight, but only a little. Other than that I don't think there will be much in the way of performance enhancements to be gained. If you however remove the internal pipe work inside the exhaust-can and install a straight-through internal pipe, with custom packaging I would have thought this would give more impressive power gains. The first area for exhaust modifications on a modern bike should really be at the Catalyst end. This device reduces power output, increases weight and heat.
Depending on your car this is pretty easy.
First you need to raise the rear end of the vehicle about 24 inches and rest it on sturdy jack-stands. (Never work under any vehicle supported only by its jack.) Make sure you are on firm ground or a concrete slab so the jack-stands will not shift. Choke the front tires so they can't roll when the rear end is up in the air. Jack up the rear of the vehicle on one side and place a stand under a solid part of the chassis but out of the way of your work. Lower the vehicle onto the stand, making adjustments as the stand takes the whole weight of the vehicle. Repeat for the other side. For safety, put the spare tire under the tire of the side you're working under, in case of a jack-stand failure.
There's probably going to be a U-bolt or some kind of piece holding the intake side of the muffler to the pipe. I would recommend first going to Auto Zone or another parts dealer and telling exactly what kind of car you have.
Generally the people that work there will actually go and look under your car and see for themselves. There are different size openings on mufflers so you MAY want to measure both holes on the muffler just to have that extra info. You probably wont need it. Mufflers usually cost less than $20 or so.
Once you get it home just take that U-bolt off, slide the old one out, slide the new one on, clamp the u-bolt back and your done. There may be another bracket that keeps the very back of the muffler off the ground so that will need to be put back also. You may need a new tailpiece for your muffler if its rusty. This is one of those simple repairs that is really fundamental. I have seen some crazy ones that have housings over them and the exhaust, but that is a different story.
Why is white smoke coming from air filter of 96 Ford Contour?
I would suspect a blown head gasket. This is very serious, so if it checked out ASAP, and stop driving the car until you know for sure.
What will happen to a blocked car exhaust pipe?
well i don't know much about that but from what i understand if the block is at the tip it may leak around the block or blow it out or go backwards and hit the engine.Now if its close to your engine more then likely it will shoot backwards and hit your engine.Either way you will mess up the engine eventually. sorry about grammer i just woke up :)
Does plugging the tailpipe cause damage?
Not necessarily, but the biggest concern would be carbon monoxide poisoning from exhaust leaking through the floorboard. There is an extremely high risk. Many state laws consider the act aggrivated reckless endangerment
What causes white smoke from tailpipe?
White smoke is a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber. This is commonly caused by a cracked head or blown head gasket or both. This is a very serious condition that requires you STOP running this engine immediately. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to operate this engine. The head must be removed to repair this problem. If you are going to drive it somewhere for repair that is not over a couple of miles, change the oil/filter and drive it for repair. If it is over a couple of miles have it towed in for repair. If you have been driving the car in this condition for very long, then you probably have done severe damage to the engine and it will require a major overhaul. Once it is opened up a determination can be made as to how bad the damage is.
How do you replace a muffler on riding lawn mower that keeps falling off?
You are either using the wrong muffler or the threads are pretty much well gone. If the problem is that the threads are worn, u can use a strip of aluminun foil to wrap around the thread similar to how teflon tape is used to seal thread on pipes.
What causes water condensation to come out of tailpipe?
When you start the car, the hot exhaust condenses on the interior of the cold exhaust system. This is normal for a few minutes until the exhaust system warms up. If the water smells and taste sweet, and you are continually adding coolant, you may have a blown head gasket. If this is the case, do not continue to drive the vehicle as serious damage will be done to the engine.
