Reasons behind Your Chevrolet S10 Exhaust Pipe Troubles
Your Chevrolet S10 exhaust pipe is designed to carry the dangerous exhaust gases away from your vehicle's cabin. A damaged exhaust pipe can cause various problems for your vehicle ranging from low fuel economy to frequent loss of power, so any sign of exhaust pipe trouble needs to be attended to as soon as possible. If you hear strange noises or smell gasoline from your exhaust system, then it's time for you to do some troubleshooting. Below are some of the most commonly encountered issues with your exhaust pipe:
Unusual hissing or popping noises
Hissing or popping noises coming from your vehicle's exhaust system are surefire symptoms that your system has developed some leaks. To check for leaks in the exhaust pipe, you can run your hand near the pipe while the engine is running and feel for any gases that are escaping through holes or cracks.
Vibration beneath your vehicle
Relatively silent vibration can also signify a leak in your exhaust system. However, if the vibration you feel is accompanied by a metallic clanging sound, you probably have loose clamps or brackets. Look beneath your car and check your exhaust pipe hangers and clamps. Make sure that all parts are secure and that all mounting bolts are tightened properly.
Loss of power
If your engine suddenly starts shutting off whenever you try to accelerate, you might have a blocked exhaust pipe. Listen for a loud chugging sound from your exhaust system, since blocked exhaust pipes are accompanied by this particular type of noise.
Other troubleshooting tips
A visual inspection of your exhaust pipe is still a very efficient way of checking for any problems, since the most common cause of a damaged exhaust pipe is corrosion. Examine the entire length of your exhaust pipe and look for holes, cracks, and rust near the welds and mounting points. However, an exhaust pipe that appears fine on the outside can still have internal corrosion. To check for rusting inside the exhaust pipe, try poking several areas of the pipe with some pliers to see if the pipe will yield. If it does, the pipe is rotten and needs to be replaced.
Without the exhaust pipe, your Chevrolet S10 won't be able to route the harmful exhaust gases from your engine away from your vehicle. However, rust and normal wear and tear can eventually damage this vital component. Rest assured that your Chevrolet S10 exhaust pipe is in prime condition by following these maintenance tips:
Regularly check your hangers and clamps.
Loose or broken hangers and clamps are the major culprits behind a rattling exhaust pipe, so it is highly advisable to examine these components regularly. Replace corroded or broken hangers and clamps immediately and make sure that they securely support your exhaust pipes. Take care not to tighten the hangers and clamps too much, or you might risk denting or damaging the exhaust pipe.
Avoid short-distance driving as much as possible.
Your vehicle produces condensation that flows through your exhaust system every time you start your engine. While this condensation simply evaporates after several minutes of driving, short-distance driving won't produce enough heat in your exhaust pipe for the moisture to evaporate. Repetitive short-distance driving makes the inside of your exhaust pipe and other exhaust system components more prone to rusting. To avoid this, try to drive for at least 20 to 30 minutes before turning off your engine.
Examine your exhaust pipe at least every 20,000 miles.
The most basic way to examine your exhaust pipe is to visually inspect its entire length for dents, corrosion, and discoloration. For a more reliable method, refer to your vehicle's service manual and follow the steps on how to conduct a pressure test on your exhaust pipe to check for leaks.
Know when to replace your exhaust pipe.
Knowing the lifespan of your exhaust pipe can also save you from the dangers of sudden exhaust pipe failure. The lifespan of an exhaust pipe will depend mostly on its material. An ordinary steel exhaust pipe usually lasts for three to five years, while an aluminized steel exhaust pipe can last for five to seven years. A stainless steel exhaust pipe is much more expensive than the previous two, but a really high-quality one can last for over 10 years.
