Exhausts
A leaking exhaust system can cause an increase in fuel consumption with the possiblities of exhaust fumes leaking into the passenger compartment of the car causing sickness and drowsiness. If you are in any doubt about the condition of your cars exhaust system then the Staff of Barrys Tyre & Exhaust Centre are always happy to carry out an inspection and give you an HONEST appraisal of its condition. |
We are able to obtain most exhaust parts within 1 hour from the local stock points of the exhaust manufacturers We can also fit a new Caralytic Converter if required |
The Catalytic Converter (Cat) works by filtering the exhaust gases through an internal honeycomb section known as a Monolith or a Catalyst. This Monolith (made of either Ceramic or Metal) is coated with precious metals such as Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium that act as a filter for the harmful gases. Once the exhaust gases flow through the Monolith they are largely converted by a chemical reaction into non-harmful emissions such as water and carbon dioxide. The Catalytic Converter will work fine under normal driving conditions but it is important to observe certain precautions if it is to continue working efficiently. The exhaust gases are constantly monitored by a Lambda Sensor that is positioned in the exhaust downpipe before the Cat. This sensor samples the gases and reports back to the Computer Controlled Fuel Injection System. If there is not enough Oxygen in the gases then the system leans off the quantity of fuel injected very slightly.
