The exhaust suffers badly for a number of reasons:

  1. It is very exposed to water, debris, salt and damage from materials thrown up to the under body
  2. They are made of relatively thin steel, with usually only a thin coating or none at all. The heat generated by the exhaust makes most paints burn off.
  3. The exhaust undergoes extremes of heat and cold, as well as internal water vapour, all of which speed oxidisation.

There is the option of a stainless steel exhaust, which can last 10 years or more, but these are expensive to manufacture, so are generally not used on lower end vehicles.

Car vibrating not much power when driving?

where to start? could be dirty fuel filter, carburetor, or injectors. plugged exhaust...feel how much exhaust pressure is coming out of the tailpipe. could be burnt valves... do a compression test and see if you have any cylinders weaker than the rest 130-180 PSI is best, but the key is to see if they're all within 10% of each other. has the car sat for a while? or acting up all of a sudden?


What is the function of the exhaust?

to take fumes and nasty gases away from the engine and to the outside of the car and to clean up emissions as much as possible.


How do cars cause pollution?

when fuel enters into the cylinders through the valves, it is ignited by the spark plugs after the compression stroke of the piston, the spark plug then fires and ignites the fuel, this creates the power stroke, after this the exhaust valve opens and exhaust is released into the manifold, fuel produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and water, so small amounts of pollution are created and released through the exhaust system but is much less in fuel injected vehicles then what was in carbuerated vehicles

How much does it cost to fix exhaust holes in Subaru Forester?

You don't fix holes in the exhaust system of an automobile. You replace damaged parts with new. The possibility of leaking deadly exhaust gas from a repaired hole to the inside of the car is all too real. As with anything that you wish to purchase, the only person to ask is the one selling the parts. Good luck! --Ken
