What Your System Does
Great auto service and value in La Jolla
and Pacific Beach
Most people probably picture the muffler on their car or truck when they think of the
exhaust system. While it is important for keeping the noise down, it is just one piece of
the entire construction. Often when there is a problem, the solution requires exhaust
manifold repair. At Dualtone of San Diego, we provide expert installation, replacement
and service of all elements of this important system.
The exhaust system as a whole
converts pollutants such as carbon
monoxide to less harmful substances and
directs them away from the interior of the
vehicle and out the back into the
atmosphere. A leak can result in dangerous
gases accumulating in the passenger area.
Systems also function to apply back-
pressure to the engine to improve fuel
efficiency. The exhaust manifold itself acts
as a sort of funnel to collect gases from all
cylinders and release it through one and
sometimes two openings or pipes. During an inspection, a technician may discover a
crack or a compromised gasket or stud and need to address the issue before it becomes
a problem.
Replacement exhaust manifolds are available in cast iron, aluminized steel and
stainless steel. At Dualtone, we carry quality products from brands such as Dynomax,
Flowmaster and Magnaflow that specialize in rust-resistant, high-gloss stainless parts.
We feel they hold up and deliver excellent performance, as well as provide a distinctive
look. Cast iron and aluminized steel may cost a little less, but they may also be more
susceptible to earlier degradation. To see about a new performance exhaust system
for your pickup, SUV or auto, call us at (858) 273-8745.
