How a Faulty Exhaust Manifold Can Affect Your Catalytic Converter and Engine Performance
A vital part of an exhaust system for a vehicle is the exhaust manifold. From the engine cylinders, it gathers exhaust gasses and channels them into the rest of the exhaust system including the catalytic converter. Reducing dangerous emissions before they enter the environment is the converter's responsibility. Nevertheless, the efficiency of the catalytic converter mostly relies on the delivery quality of the exhaust gases to it, so the exhaust manifold is quite important. This process can be disturbed and the catalytic converter's general performance altered by a faulty manifold.
How a Faulty Manifold Leads to Emissions Problems
Exhaust gases may leak out of the exhaust manifold before they reach the catalytic converter if it is damaged or leaky. The catalytic converter may not get eno...
