From your exhaust manifold to your muffler, your Nissan hinges on a tightly closed system to make sure that engine exhaust is filtered through the tailpipe correctly. If the Gasket Exhaust within this intricate system is damaged or has any issues, there may be potential for leaks—or worse!
Exhaust gases are hot — extremely hot. These gases can be hot enough to scald or destroy components around the exhaust manifold, as well as subsequent parts of your exhaust system. Your Nissan depends on a functioning, high-quality Gasket Exhaust to make sure these gases are contained in the exhaust system and cleared out through the tailpipe.
A damaged Gasket Exhaust could trigger exhaust gas leaks amongst other problems. If the Gasket Exhaust on your Nissan becomes worn or too old, you may notice a few of these signs:
1) Your engine may become noisy.
A compromised Gasket Exhaust may begin leaking, which could lead to hissing or tapping noises while the engine on your Nissan is running. Should you hear noises like this coming from your engine bay, it may be time to get a new gasket.
2) You may smell a burning odor.
When hot exhaust gases leak, they could burn your engine wiring or the plastic components around your Nissan's exhaust system and engine, too! While your Nissan is equipped with heat shields and other heat-resistant parts to safeguard against exhaust heat, they aren't exactly designed to protect against exhaust leaks from a worn gasket.
In addition to potential vehicle damage, an exhaust leak caused by a faulty Gasket Exhaust could be harmful to the environment. Exhaust gases are supposed to go through the entire exhaust system where they move through filters and converters in order to catch environmental toxins. A leaking exhaust system, however, can release exhaust gases full of contaminants into the atmosphere and even through the cabin filter and ultimately your Nissan, where you can inhale the fumes.
Help prevent future vehicle damage, and do what's necessary to keep toxic exhaust gases within your engine, and out of the atmosphere and your cabin, by uninstalling a bad or damaged Gasket Exhaust with a brand-new, genuine Gasket Exhaust from Nissan Parts.
