Can You Extend the Life and Mileage of Your Car's Exhaust and Muffler System?
Most auto owners do not give the exhaust system of their vehicle one minute though. That is until they hear a loud boom, exhaust hissing or rattling noises coming quite scarily from the rear of their car or truck. On top of that there are health and safety concerns from exhaust gasses. You can almost bet by the time they get to that point that they are going to be recipients of a large muffler or exhaust system repair bill. Is their any way that most motorists can extend the life and driving span of their exhaust and muffler system or systems?
Basically put your car or truck's exhaust system includes the exhaust manifold, muffler, connecting pipes and in some cases a resonator. Any automobile made in the last 30 years will definitely have a catalytic converter you can bet. Single exhaust setups use an exhaust manifold of a single exhaust pipe, muffler assembly and tail pipe that extends under of just short of the rear bumper whereas on a dual exhaust system arrangement two exhaust pipes and a muffler assembly are used together with two resonators, two tail pipes. Each assembly is connected to it s own exhaust manifold and carries the exhaust gasses to the rear of the vehicle.
The life of the mufflers and pipes is dependent largely on the type of service in which the vehicle is used. If it is driven mostly in city type stop and go traffic with few trips exceeding five miles, you can bet that the muffler will soon be rusted out, have a shorter life span and that the automobile owner will be making a visit either to his local mechanic at their garage or to his dealership service center. Since installing mufflers and exhaust systems is a specialized job many garages themselves as well as those auto owners often have the work done at shops and garages that specialize in exhaust system and muffler repair and replacement.
The reason for such short muffler life spans is that on short trips the mufflers and pipes will never get warm never mind hot enough to evaporate moisture in the system - that in the end works to rust out any steel metal components of mufflers and exhaust systems. This moisture not only clings to the metal components and is rust causing by it but wore me highly acidic in nature and most corrosive - mixing with the exhaust gas remnants and left over residuals from the internal combustion engine's combustion process. As a result the pipes and mufflers are soon corroded and have to be replaced.
If the car is driven mostly on long and longer mileage trips, or mainly at good speeds on freeway travel, then conversely the mufflers and the pipes that it is attached to will soon get hot enough to simply evaporate this moisture, similar to how a hot kettle boils off water. Consequently corrosive action (that is rusting and the formation of rust on the metal parts and surfaces of the muffler) will be slowed down and retarded. Consequently your vehicle will have its muffler and exhaust system will last longer and have a longer life span.
Interestingly it seems that Mufflers and pipes used on a single exhaust system, will generally last longer than dual muffler installations because all the hot exhaust gasses are propelled and pass through one single pipe - that is the one solitary muffler. As a result in a single muffler system temperatures generally reach a higher value sooner rather than later. Hence the corrosive moisture has a better chance of being heated up and evaporated into the atmosphere with less of a chance that will linger on metal surfaces and components to do its rusting job.
The general rule of thumb from experienced auto mechanics and automotive dealership service writers is that mufflers and pipes should be replaced before they are rusted completely, for if there are any leaks in the system what so ever, the exhaust which are poisonous and injurious to health will escape into the interior of the vehicle where they can potentially cause the death of the occupants and riders or a serious accident if the driver becomes affected by exhaust gas and gasses.

An exhaust fan is a device designed to suck out humid air from a house or building. It can be installed for the whole structure or particular areas only, say a bathroom or kitchen.
Installing exhaust fans can be do-it-yourself. It is that easy. What is important to consider is the safety of the one installing. Taken into consideration also is the safety of the occupants of the area wherein this device is installed. Faulty installations can cause electrical problems and other similar accidents.
Manufacturers usually include manuals along with their products. Read and understand these installations guides very carefully first. There is no room for mistakes because they can lead to house damages.
Turn off power in the area first before installing as safety precautions. If the fan to be installed is a replacement, the job would be easier. Position carefully the fan on the required area for access to the power source. Make the necessary opening instructed in the manual.
Make sure the exhaust fan is properly attached. All screws and fasteners should be in place. Next, connect the fan unit to the power source. There is a wiring diagram provided with the product. Grills and fixtures are attached properly with the unit fasteners.
Finish doing all the necessary connections before turning on the power. The vent for the exhaust fan should be properly in place. The ductwork and cap should be in their correct positions and connections.
For added security, make sure that all persons in the house know that there is someone working to install the device. This will prevent accidental turning on of the circuit breaker supplying power to area where the work is being done. The installer should wear proper work clothes for protection. Face mask and helmet should be used to avoid accidental injuries from dust and falling debris.
In some areas, local authorities require permits for such installations. Make sure to comply and acquire these documents.

Hello and welcome back to our series on automotive tools and how to guides for the new weekend warrior auto mechanic. This isn't meant for the professional, but rather the average Joe who is looking to get his hands a little dirty on the weekends. In the past, we have covered a lot of tools but in today's article I'm going to cover what it is that your car's exhaust is responsible for. Your car's exhaust is a central part of your vehicle as long as you intend to keep it street legal. If you have been following along with our articles, you know that air and fuel is mixed and combusted in the combustion chamber of your engine. From there it travels to the exhaust system.
In most exhaust systems, the spent fuel's journey will begin at the exhaust manifold, otherwise known as a header if you have a performance exhaust. While designs vary, they all serve the same purpose of getting the spent gases from the exhaust port down to the catalytic converter. It is here that the exhaust gases combine and interact with the chemicals in your catalytic converter to produce less harmful emissions.
From there the gases travel down the main pipe and to a resonator, muffler, or a combination of the two. The purpose of them is to lessen the amount of noise heard from your car's running engine. Typically a resonator is used in conjunction with a muffler to create a desired "Tone" or sound to the exhaust note. That's all there is to your car's exhaust system. When it wears out, typically there is no repair for them other than complete replacement.
