How to Change the Exhaust of Your Car?
This is not a very common problem, but I thought since I had the time and the means, why not help you people with this, right? Yeah, I hear the applause. Anyways, gear up for the job and keep all things ready at hand, most importantly, buy auto lifts if you don’t have one already, this will save you a lot of money and time at the mechanic’s. You will also require your buddy to assist you with this because exhausts are heavy parts.

Imagine driving through a lovely country road and all you hear is the chirping of birds and the sputtering thuds of your old and rusty exhaust! I would not want to waste that lovely experience with all that nasty noise, neither would you, but you are too lazy to drive your car over to the mechanic! All right, so here the mechanic comes to your aid with a very detailed description. But here is a caveat, my model is a Mercedes Convertible 450 SL and I suggest buying reliable auto lifts Georgia.

The first thing to do is to get the vehicle up on auto lifts. We mechanics ...
... get a feeling of what is wrong as soon as we see the underbelly, you however, will require closer observation.
• Start from the back of the vehicle. Take a close look at the silencer, if you have been driving the car for quite some time, you will see corrosions and rots eating away at the metal.
• Gradually move towards the front of the car and using a torch look for pinholes on the pipes and gaps on the links that hold the pipes together at the bends.

• You can identify the resonator easily because this is a big chunk of a metallic box with pipes going out of it. If you do not see any physical damage try adjusting the auto lifts Alabama bring the vehicle closer to you. Missing problems is very easy unless you look from close angles.
In most cases, a few touches and repairs will do the job, we will discuss small repairs in an upcoming article, meanwhile, in this blog I will show you how to drop off the old bugger and fit a brand new exhaust to your vehicle.

Removing the Old Exhaust
I wonder how it hard it would have been without auto lifts. With these affordable auto lifts, even homeowners can set up their own garage and carry out a little maintenance work occasionally.
So now that you are sure about replacing the exhaust, start by removing rusty bolts and clamps using an impact gun. Pull out the rubber mounts that keep the exhaust in place. Get your buddy to slip the other end through the steering idler arm. Once separated, you can put it away to be scrapped later on.

Fitting the New Exhaust
I got some cheap exhaust parts from a local dealer for less than 600 USD. First I am going to fit the downpipe to the engine manifold.
• Get comfortably under the auto lifts Atlanta and set the clamps in place. This is the hardest part, so a pair of extra hands should come in handy.
• Next, apply a generous layer of exhaust paste to the open end of the downpipe and slide the mid section. Keep the delay as short as possible.
• Finally, get the silencer in place hanging by the rubber clamps. Make sure to tighten the bolts properly. The exhaust should not hang neither should it touch the underside of the car.

That is it. It was as easy as it seemed. Auto lifts and a pair of assisting hands is all you need to replace your car exhaust. Hope this helped.
