So, another option, if you plan to keep the car for a while, is to replace the whole converter now. It should come with its own, new heat shields attached. That’s going to run you an easy $1,000 ...

Exhaust wrap is a thermal insulator engineered to keep destructive (yet productive) heat where it’s most effective. Exhaust-system pipe wrap can actually reduce under-hood temperatures by 50 ...

Most car exhaust systems emit a few key gases. The first is nitrogen, a relatively harmless gas that makes up more than 70% of the Earth's atmosphere, followed by water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Car exhaust could be used to generate electricity, which would reduce fuel consumption. Written by Boonsri Dickinson, Contributing Editor Nov. 24, 2010 at 10:12 a.m. PT ...

The same goes for all the heat shields on the exhaust system. • You say it's a rattle, but if it could also be described as a ticking noise, check for an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold.

Combustion engines only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces demonstrates how to ...
