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.

Is there supposed to be popping noises coming from exhaust pipes?

If your talking about it doing that after you have turned off the engine then yes. That's just the hot exhaust pipes and catalytic converter contracting as they cool.

What are the main causes of holes in the exhaust?

Main causes of exhaust holes are created to acidic chemicals generated by the working diesel or gas engine on combustion of the air/fuel mixture such as sulphur dioxide &carbon monoxide, and water vapour. The latter condenses from steam back into water along the length of the exhaust tube.The acidic properties with water'eat' or oxidise on the steel exhaust eventually leading to pin hole rusting. One answer is to use stainless steel instead of ordinary steel which givesa longer life expectancy, although more expensive.

Why is the exhaust warning light on?

I assume that is is broken, I would take it to the mechanics instead of going on the internet!

What cause engine coolant to come out from the exhaust?

Of course it cannot be coolant . . . the engine heat would boil it off quite quickly.

However, the exhaust gases from an engine contain water vapor. This water vapor cools when it contacts the much cooler tail pipe, and gives up some of itself as liquid water. This is the water you see coming out of the tailpipe. Once the tailpipe heats up, you don't see that water, anymore.

This is very similar to water vapor in the air condensing on a cold glass of lemonade or coke. The water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass, and gives up some of itself as liquid water. This is also what causes dew droplets to form on the ground on plants.

How much of a horsepower gain will you get with a 70mm Termignoni exhaust on a 1098s Ducati?

Properly installed, that system is good for about a 10% bump in horsepower...so figure about 15 hp give or take a few ponies. The system is very LOUD so be prepared to wake the neighbors.

Why do the exhaust gases of a rocket exert a huge amount of force?

Gas is one of the states of matter. Matter has weight and takes up space. When rocket propellants are burned or oxidized, they give off expanding gases. Since gas is matter the expanding gases exert force.

What happens when water comes out of the exhaust?

nothing should happen it just means it probably hasn't been ran in a while so it's cleaning the headers and exhaust out. ammerman98 out

When your car is in reverse and you put your foot on the gas white smoke blew out what does that mean?

White smoke is an indication of coolant entering the combustion chamber. This will not just happen in reverse but will happen all the time. You may have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving this vehicle until you have this looked at by a pro. If you continue to drive it and do have either of these problems you will destroy the engine.

What is the problem when water is coming from exhaust pipe?

Modern vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters. Catalytic converters use heat and oxygen to strip atoms off of exhaust gas molecules. Nitrides of oxygen a.k.a N20 are separated into nitrogen and oxygen molecules, hydrocarbons a.k.a HC3 are stripped into hydrogen and carbon molecules the heat combined with the presence of hydrogen and oxygen causes the two to combine in to a new molecule H2O a.k.a water. A little water from your exhaust system is actually a good thing, it means your catalytic converter is performing properly.

Check out howstuffworks.com to see how a catalytic converter uses heavy metals like platinum and paladium and the heat from the exhaust to do this, it's pretty cool.

Now you can impress your friends with some useless fact ;)

What is the benefit of having a WRX exhaust?

A WRX exhaust gives your car more power and control. The wide design of its body gives greater stability on the road and creates a smoother ride even on uneven surfaces. A WRX exhaust boosts performance by allowing fresh oxygen into the exhaust, creating greater horsepower and torque.

Why is white smoke coming out of exaust?

i dont think white smoke comes from the exauts.i think when the engine hase just being started it is cold causin water to evaperate an flow out the exaust.

What does white smoke mean when it is coming out of the exhaust of your 2000 Ford F-350 diesel?

very rarely , white smoke can indicate a problem with the turbo

Why is does a 1998 fiesta billow white smoke on starting?

White smoke is an indication that you have coolant in the combustion chamber. Almost always caused by a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving this car until you repair this or you will destroy the engine.

Where can one purchase an FMF exhaust system?

One can purchase an FMF exhaust system directly from FMF's website, or through another authorized retailer such as MotoSport or JC Motors. It is not recommended to buy an FMF exhaust from a secondary source, due to a lack of warranty coverage.

How can you make a loud noise?
