- Essential part of your exhaust system
- Helps ensure gases are contained within the exhaust system and emptied out the tailpipe
- Replace if worn or damaged
From your exhaust manifold to your muffler, your Nissan relies on an intricate system to ensure that the exhaust from your Nissan engine is filtered through the tailpipe correctly. If the Gasket Exhaust inside this closed system is broken or weathered, there may be potential for leaks , or you could run into even greater issues.
The exhaust gases produced by your vehicle are scorchingly hot. These heated gases have the ability to scald or impair other components around the exhaust manifold, as well as subsequent parts of your exhaust system. Your Nissan depends on a functioning, quality Gasket Exhaust to make sure these gases are contained inside your exhaust system and cleared out through the tailpipe.
A compromised Gasket Exhaust could cause potential exhaust gas leaks amongst other problems. Should your Nissan Gasket Exhaust fail or becomes compromised, you may notice a few of these signs:
1) You might hear a tapping or slight whistling sound.
A failed Gasket Exhaust may begin leaking, which could lead to hissing or tapping sounds while your Nissan engine is running. If you hear these sounds from the engine bay, it may be time to get a gasket replacement.
2) You may smell a burning odor.
When hot exhaust gases escape from your exhaust system, they can singe wiring and plastic parts and components surrounding the exhaust system and engine. Even though your Nissan comes with heatproof components such as heat shields to protect against heated exhaust, they aren't usually manufactured to safeguard against exhaust leakage from a worn gasket.
Vehicle damage isn't the only potential problem. An exhaust leak that occurs from a bad Gasket Exhaust could prove dangerous to the environment. Exhaust gases are meant to be sent through the complete exhaust system where they pass through filters and converters in order to properly trap environmental pollutants. Exhaust system leakage, however, can expel unfiltered exhaust gases full of toxins into the environment and possibly through your cabin filter and into your Nissan passenger cabin.
Help prevent future vehicle damage, and do what's necessary to keep harmful exhaust gases out of the air and your passenger cabin by uninstalling a bad or compromised Gasket Exhaust with a new, genuine Gasket Exhaust from Nissan Parts.
