Expert Answers about Exhaust Systems


  • Camco Gen-Turi RV Generator Exhaust System Operation In Heavy Rain
  • The Camco Gen-Turi RV Generator Exhaust System # CAM44461 is a very basic exhaust extension, so your question about rain is valid. I reached out to the manufacturer and they said that there isn't an issue with any large amounts of water getting into your generator exhaust. The engineer stated that they have holes where the bolts go through and water will drain out there. They said if it were an issue, they would have added an additional part like a chimney cap, but it has not been needed....

  • Exhaust Pipe of 2006 Toyota Sienna is Rattling Against Hitch
  • The Curt # C13105 is indeed a fit for your Sienna. Here's how the exhaust can rattle against the hitch, even if the correct hitch has been installed. The exhaust system at the rear of the car is attached to the vehicle using rubber isolators and easily bendable exhaust hangers. Because of this, the actual position of the exhaust system can vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle. When the hitch is installed, its position will not vary from vehicle to vehicle. The large tolerances in the exhaust...

  • Troubleshooting Curt Hitch for 2017 Chevy Trax with Exhaust System Contact
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevy Trax. The issue you are facing is not out of the norm, but a replacement hitch is not needed.

  • Troubleshooting Exhaust Rattle with a Curt Hitch on a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Exhaust rattle is fairly common problem with hitch installs that can easily be fixed. Since exhaust systems are designed for slight movements they don't always sit in the same spot on every vehicle, so when a hitch is designed for a vehicle the hitch might sit close and not rattle on one vehicle, but on another vehicle the clearances might be different and the exhaust might hit the hitch. To see how to address the exhaust rattle you are experiencing check out the video I attached to the right.

  • Exhaust Pipes Seem to Hang Lower After Curt Hitch Installation on 2016 Infiniti QX 50
  • According to Curt, when installing the Curt Hitch, # C11510 on a 2016 Infiniti QX50, you have to invert the rubber isolators for the exhaust system when reconnecting the exhaust mount to the hitch. If you failed to invert these rubber isolators, then it is possible that you vehicle's exhaust pipes might very well hang lower than they originally were mounted. Maybe as much as an 1-1/2 inch lower. I would double check or even invert theses hangers then reinstall the exhaust to see if this...

  • Fixing Muffler Rattling Against Curt Class III Hitch # 13364 on 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • What you describe is a fairly common occurrence. The spot where the hitch sits on the vehicle does not vary from Grand Caravans of the same model year. However, since the exhaust system uses flexible rubber isolators and muffler hangers that are easily manipulated, the exact location of the exhaust system can vary quite a bit between vehicles of the same year, make and model. We've actually come up with a help article that specifically addresses this issue (see provided link), which provides...

  • Troubleshooting An Air Leak On The Roadmaster Even Brake Supplemental Braking System
  • Typically if the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 is having a leakage issue it's either the Air Cylinder # RM-452109-10 or the exhaust valve # RM-450601-50, with the exhaust valve usually being the number one culprit. I recommend checking the exhaust valve with some soapy water and seeing if you get any bubbles.

  • Braking System that Doesnt Apply Toad Brakes with Exhaust Brake
  • We have a supplemental braking system that is ideal for you situation. The Air Force One, part # SM99243, will do just that. The Air Force One only engages your toad's brakes when the air brakes of your motorhome are applied. And since they aren't being applied when you're using your exhaust brake the toad won't brake just from using the exhaust brake. I've linked a video of the Air Force One being installed in a new CR-V for you.

  • How to Stop Exhaust Pipe of Toyota Sienna From Rattling Against Trailer Hitch
  • What you describe is not an unusual occurrence that has some easy fixes, as you can see by clicking on the help article links I've provided for you. When a hitch is installed, its location is fixed, because it's bolted to the vehicle. Exhaust systems, however use flexible rubber isolators or dampeners that mean the exact location of the exhaust can vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle. This can sometimes lead to the exhaust rattling against the hitch with varying degrees of severity....

  • Why Would The Exhaust Become Louder After Installing EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver 2016 Honda HR-V
  • It sounds like your exhaust was damaged by the installer when they installed the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7322 on your 2016 Honda HR-V. There are a few welds in your exhaust which could have cracked if they did not properly support the exhaust. There is also an exhaust flange just in front of the rear suspension. You will want to also check there to determine if the flange was damaged or if they removed the exhaust and forgot to tighten back up the flange to seal the system.

  • Hitch Installed on 2016 Infiniti QX60 Rattling on Exhaust
  • What you describe is a fairly common occurrence. Because the # C11510 hitch mounts to fixed mounting points on your 2016 Infiniti QX50, that hitch is going to sit in the same exact spot on every US Market 2016 Infiniti QX50. However, because the exhaust system uses flexible rubber isolators and easily bendable exhaust hangers, the precise location of the exhaust pipe where it runs next to the hitch can vary from vehicle to vehicle, sometimes by an inch or more. Typically, fixing the problem...

  • Error Code P0420 After Replacing Exhaust Manifold Gasket and Using MagnaFlow Catalytic Converter
  • The most common things that can cause a P0420 error code are bad oxygen sensors, engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction (does not seem likely given what you have said), leaking exhaust, or a bad catalytic converter. Since you had a manifold gasket issue, it sounds like there could still be a leak in the system somewhere. This can happen with gasket replacement if any remnants of the old gasket were still on the block or manifold when the new one was installed. It could also have...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Dodge Charger
  • Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C13093 and # C12064 will fit your 2015 Dodge Charger. Note the 2015 Dodge Charger, the drivers side exhaust must be temporarily lowered and drivers side muffler removed and then reattached in order to install Curt trailer hitch # C13093 or # C12064.

  • 2015 Ford Explorer Exhaust Hanger Makes Contact with Trailer Hitch
  • If there is no noise from the contact between the exhaust hanger and the hitch then you don't have to do anything. If there is noise or you just want some more space then there are some things you can do to create more space. I have included a link to a help article that covers the different methods you could employ. If all else fails then a muffler shop would be able to take care of the issue pretty easily since they have the tools and the know-how to work on exhaust systems. I doubt...
