Exhaust Repair FAQs
-
Should I replace my whole exhaust system?
If multiple components on your vehicle are significantly corroded, damaged, or causing performance issues, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run compared to piecemeal repairs. Consider also the age of your vehicle. If your vehicle has failed an emissions test, a new one might be needed.

How long does it take to fix an exhaust system?
Generally, a straightforward exhaust system repair, such as replacing a muffler or a small section of the exhaust pipe, may take approximately one to two hours. More complex repairs, such as replacing the entire exhaust system or addressing issues with the catalytic converter, could take several hours or even a full day.
