Proton Performance Exhausts
Your Proton Exhaust can be completely replaced or, depending upon condition we can replace any problem sections:
- Proton Manifold
- Proton Front Downpipe
- Proton Centre Section
- Proton Rear silencer box
Proton Silencer Or Back Box
Proton Silencer Or Back Box normally needs replacing first.
Fuel combustion in your Proton engine creates water vapour. As it passes along your Proton's cold exhaust pipes it condenses back into liquid water.
Sulphur and Nitrogen Oxide gases passing through you Proton's catalytic converter are absorbed by the water creating Acidic moisture that can attack the steel of your Proton exhaust.
Your Proton Silencer is the last part of the exhaust system to be heated and on short journeys may not heat up enough to eliminate the acidic condensation.
A problem with your Proton backbox will give a loud roaring noise as the silencer ceases to be effective.
If your Proton exhaust is rattling then a support bracket or rubber mount may have corroded or come loose. The rubber on your Proton exhaust hanger can become brittle and snap leaving your Proton exhaust system hanging loose.
Cracks in the exhaust pipes and failed gaskets, blockages all create unusual sounds so if you suspect that your exhaust is less than perfect it's best to have it checked.
