USEFUL TIP: If the noise level from the exhaust system is increased, check its tightness. To do this, start the engine and inspect the entire system. By running your hand over the possible leak areas, without touching the components, you will immediately feel the gas leak. If necessary, replace rusted and burnt components.
WARNING: Allow the exhaust system to cool before repairing as it becomes very hot during engine operation.
WARNING: Exhaust gases are toxic and poisoning occurs unnoticed, so be sure to open the garage door before starting the engine!
USEFUL TIP: If it is impossible to replace a defective unit with a new one, you can temporarily restore its functionality by applying a metal patch to the damaged area and securing it with clamps or wire. It is recommended to place a sheet of asbestos under the patch.
USEFUL TIP: Auto parts stores sell special kits for restoring exhaust system components, which can be used to temporarily repair damage to the system in order to get to a car service center or garage.
