Why does my car make noise when I accelerate? The exhaust system is mostly metal piping that is connected in sections underneath your car. These exhaust parts are connected with either exhaust clamps or exhaust flange connections that have exhaust gaskets in between. The exhaust system generally starts with the exhaust manifold up front and closest to the engine. Sometimes these exhaust manifolds will have a catalytic converter built in it, or be a completely separate part. After the exhaust catalytic converters are usually the exhaust resonators and finally the exhaust muffler and tail pipe. Any one of these parts could start leaking at any time and result your car making excess noise, especially when accelerating. Exhaust leaks can also be a safety concern as the fumes may enter the cabin area thru the floorboard of your car or truck. Rust is usually the reason why these parts fail and replacing the section that is leaking along with new gaskets is usually all it takes.
