FAQ

What is that rattle underneath over bumps?

Usually a heat shield that has rusted loose, or a broken rubber hanger letting the pipe knock against the floor. Both are quick and cheap on a lift. Left alone, a swinging pipe tears at the joints and turns a small job into a section replacement.

Can I stop my catalytic converter being stolen?

Not completely, but you can make your car the harder target. Shields and cages bolt over the converter, etching the plate number on it helps police trace it, and parking where the underside is hard to reach or well lit puts thieves off. High-riding vehicles get hit most because nobody needs a jack.

Is a universal muffler as good as the original?

It depends on the fitter. A universal box welded in by someone who knows the car can sound and last as well as the factory part for less money. Fitted badly it hangs wrong, drones, or cracks at the weld. Ask what warranty covers the part and the weld.

Can I book an exhaust job online in Crystal Lake?

An online booking link appears on [N_BOOK] of the 24 listings here. Most exhaust work is short enough to be a same-week appointment, though a converter or a full section may wait on a part arriving.
