Loud rumble
Likely a leak before the muffler
Cracked manifold, blown gasket, or a rotted mid-pipe. We’ll trace the leak,
repair or replace the section, and confirm it’s sealed before delivery.
Hissing or ticking
Small leak under pressure
Almost always a flange gasket, donut, or a hairline crack at a weld.
Quick to find with a smoke test, quick to fix with new gaskets.
Rattle over bumps
Broken hanger or loose heat shield
Rubber hangers stretch and snap, heat shields rust at the spot welds.
Both are inexpensive fixes — the rattle disappears with new isolators.
Drone at highway speed
Tunable with the right resonator
Drone is a resonance, not a defect. We tune it out by re-locating
or upgrading the resonator and adjusting muffler chamber geometry.
Rotten-egg smell
Catalytic converter is failing
Sulfur smell means the cat is sintering or contaminated. Direct-fit
replacement, sensor check, and a quick OBD scan to confirm.
P0420 / O2 code
Cat efficiency below threshold
Could be the cat itself, or a lazy downstream O2 sensor. We confirm
with live data, then replace only what’s actually failed.
Visible rust on pipe
Section replacement — or upgrade time
If it’s a single section, we splice in mandrel-bent stainless. If it’s
everywhere, full stainless system pays for itself in NH’s salt belt.
Failed emissions / OBD-II
Diagnose, then repair to code
We pull the exact codes, isolate the failed component (cat, sensor,
or leak), and put it right so the next inspection is a pass.
Want louder tone
Axle-back, cat-back, or X-pipe
We listen to your car at idle and at WOT, then build up from the
quietest mod that hits your target tone — without crossing into illegal volume.
Want quieter tone
Resonator + chambered muffler
Most “too loud” complaints solve with one extra resonator and a
properly-sized chambered muffler. Cabin gets back to highway-conversation level.
