Car Exhausts

Exhausts Repaired & Replaced

Coby Autos in Dublin 22 can repair, supply, and fit exhaust systems for all makes and models.

Ensuring your exhaust system is in good working order is very important for several reasons. Your fuel consumption/mileage, your safety (in-car air quality), your car’s power/torque, and your impact on the environment are all directly affected by how well or otherwise a car exhaust is functioning. Coby Autos offers a free exhaust system check and, should you require some repair or replacement work, we will advise you on all costs involved and fully discuss your options with you in advance of any work being done.

Why is it Important?

Your vehicle’s exhaust system is vital for the quality of air in the cabin, as well as other crucial functions.

It is a series of chambers and pipes that take the gas emissions (exhaust fumes) created when fuel and air are burned in your car engine’s combustion chamber safely to the back of the car. It begins at the engine and ends at the back of the vehicle.

Its function is to:

Get rid of exhaust gases
Reduce engine noise
Maintain optimum fuel efficiency
Process some of the exhaust gases in the catalytic converter to reduce the impact of Carbon Monoxide etc on the environment

About Exhaust Gases

Exhaust gases are comprised mainly of nitrogen, water vapour and carbon dioxide. While these gases are not toxic or noxious, your exhaust gas will also contain small amounts of carbon monoxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons such as nitrogen oxide and nitrogen monoxide. These gases are toxic and quite dangerous if one is exposed to them for any length of time.

As your exhaust system is the only means by which these gases are transported from your car’s engine safely away to the rear of your vehicle, your exhaust system must be checked regularly. A faulty exhaust system can lead to these noxious gases being fed into the main body of your car/vehicle and can lead to occupant (including driver) drowsiness. Drowsiness/tiredness in a car can be fatal.

From the DrowsyDriving.org site: “Sleepiness and driving are a dangerous combination. Most people are aware of the dangers of drinking and driving but don’t realize that drowsy driving can be just as fatal. Like alcohol, sleepiness slows reaction time, decreases awareness, impairs judgment and increases your risk of crashing.”

NCT Problems

As well as the dangers posed by a damaged exhaust, a car or vehicle with a compromised exhaust is very likely to fail an NCT test.

This is due to high emission readings or visible damage to the exhaust pipe, backbox, catalytic convertor or elsewhere. In some cases, it is possible to just replace a part (e.g. a backbox) whereas sometimes it’s more economical in the long run to replace it completely. At Coby Autos, we will be able to diagnose the problem and will advise you on how best to proceed.
