Simple Answers from Nor Cal Performance for West Sacramento: Exhaust Service

Question:
My car failed its emissions test – what do I need to do?

Nor Cal Performance Answer:
Let's get this out of the way: a leak in your exhaust system could be deadly. If West Sacramento drivers smell exhaust in the passenger cabin or hear an unusual exhaust sound, they should get their exhaust system checked and repaired. Talk to your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Nor Cal Performance. Carbon monoxide in your exhaust is odorless, colorless and tasteless can be fatal to you and your passengers, so don't delay if you suspect an exhaust leak.

There could be a number of reasons for a failed California emissions test so some diagnostic work is in order. A common reason is that the catalytic converter has failed. The catalytic converter removes some of the harmful elements in exhaust.

When a catalytic converter fails it must be replaced, which isn't cheap for West Sacramento drivers. Many West Sacramento folks stop there – but the converter failed for a reason. There may be any number of engine run conditions that led to the failure. It would certainly be smart to have your friendly and knowledgeable pros at Nor Cal Performance diagnose the cause so that you don't end up with another catalytic converter replacement down the road.

Oh, and that Check Engine light that so many West Sacramento drivers ignore: It might just be illuminated for a condition that could lead to catalytic converter damage. Have your technician at Nor Cal Performance get to the bottom of any Check Engine light situation.
