The exhaust system on your Toyota Sequoia safely removes the noxious byproducts of fuel combustion in your SUV's engine. It captures the harmful stuff before expelling much cleaner gases into the air. That not only helps keep you and your passengers safe. It's also far better for the environment. The system even muffles the noise the process makes. Exhausts work in five parts. Pollutants go through a catalytic converter first. What a catalytic converter does is use platinum, rhodium, and palladium to capture, contain, and convert most of those contaminants into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. How catalytic converters work is they separate toxic molecules into oxygen and nitrogen, trapping the latter within the converter and letting the former go through it. They also burn up hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The second stage is your exhaust manifold. It collects the gases and sends them through your exhaust pipe. In the meantime, your resonator and muffler minimize engine noise down while optimizing airflow. Finally, your muffler's tail pipe releases the fumes into the air.

Repair Your Toyota Sequoia Exhaust with Genuine OEM Parts

When and how often you should replace your exhaust, or its parts, depends on your driving conditions. Typically, catalytic converters last 100,000 miles, while mufflers and resonators lasts 2 to 4 years. Look for signs of exhaust problems when diagnosing. They include worsening fuel economy, strange noises from your exhaust pipe or muffler, a rotten-egg odor, and a lit Check Engine light. If you experience any of these symptoms, do a thorough inspection to make sure your exhaust is the culprit.
