This guide shows how to change your car's exhaust without necessarily going to a mechanic and spending a lot of money. If the exhaust starts making strange and loud noises that disturb your hearing, it’s time to replace it. First, assess the damage to the old exhaust.

If the hole causing the noise is small, it will be immediately noticeable, and you can simply seal it with sealant. If the exhaust is quite deteriorated, it will need to be replaced.

Between the connecting pipe and the pipe leading to the manifold, there is a clamp that you need to unscrew. The new exhaust should be fitted, and the clamp for the connecting pipe and the manifold should be tightened securely.
