What does an exhaust pipe do?
Your car’s exhaust system is designed to transport and release the exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders into the air and typically consists of an exhaust manifold, downpipe, exhaust pipes, an exhaust silencer and a catalytic converter. Exhaust gases are filtered out of the engine cylinders, into the manifold and then into the exhaust pipes and are fed to the catalytic converter to be cleaned.
Exhaust pipes usually consist of several parts like a downpipe, a central exhaust pipe and a rear exhaust pipe. All these parts are connected with an assortment of exhaust gaskets. The entire exhaust system is essential in the efficient and smooth running of your vehicle.
Peugeot
Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, initially founded in 1810 as a manufacturer of coffee and bicycles that went on to build internal combustion engine cars from 1890.
How popular is Peugeot in the United Kingdom?
With possibly its strongest model line-up in years, Peugeot is looking to turn around its current dip in vehicle numbers on the UK roads today. After a steady rise over the decade from 1995 to 2005, from 1.1million to 2.1million, the current tally has slowly dropped to a mere 1.8million—a strong total despite the depreciation in numbers.
A mixed range of sensibly priced cars
With 21 standard vehicle models available from the full Peugeot line-up, that’s a lot of choice when buying a car.
Without doubt, it’s their SUV offerings that are leading the way; the innovation and technology applied to these stronger models will hopefully be developed through the rest of the range, bringing them into line with what the buying public expect from their motoring today.
The modern Peugeot: executive styling in the making
Catering for city driving, Peugeot has smaller models available that include the 108 city car and the 208 supermini, next up is the 308 hatchback, and then the majority of the models in today’s line-up is their range of SUVs.
However, the 508 saloon, featuring fastback type styling, has grown into an attractive low-slung 5-door coupé. More cars like this could enhance Peugeot’s positioning away from the mid-stream and into executive status.
The historic and iconic Peugeot 205 GTI
It was in the 1980s when the 205 was introduced and seemed responsible for turning around the success of the company. The supermini model was applauded for its style and handling, which led to sales topping 50k units a year.
In 1984 the GTI was launched with a 1.6-litre engine; soon followed by a 1.9-litre model. The high-performance hatchback set standards in thrill-seeking for younger drivers everywhere.
Could the new range of SUVs be responsible for another similarly styled comeback for the French giant?
How often should an exhaust pipe need replacing?
In modern cars with high-quality parts, the exhaust pipes should last the lifetime of the car. However, older cars or those with cheaper parts may need to have the exhaust system inspected and looked at every 5-10 years.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
There are strict regulations regarding exhaust systems and car emissions. A car's exhaust system, including the manifold and pipe, cannot have any serious leaks, corrosion or cracks. An annual MOT tests both the exhaust system for leaks and deterioration and the emissions coming from the exhaust system.
What happens when we do an exhaust pipe replacement on your car?
Our certified mechanics will:
Inspect the exhaust pipes.
If the exhaust system or pipes are damaged (cracked, rusted through etc.), the mechanic will replace the necessary parts.
They will also replace the exhaust gasket(s), if necessary.
Advise if other parts need to be replaced.
Check for any exhaust leaks and test drive the car.
What causes an exhaust pipe to break?
Exhaust pipes run underneath the car, therefore they are constantly exposed to the elements so are more prone to wear. In damp conditions older exhausts can rust or become corroded and sometimes pipes can be damaged when driving, for example when driving too quickly over speed bumps.
When should an exhaust pipe be replaced?
Modern exhaust systems are designed to last the lifetime of a vehicle. The exhaust pipes are typically made from either chrome or stainless steel so can withstand wear, rust and corrosion. On older cars or those with cheaper parts the exhaust pipes will last between 5-10 years. This being said, because exhaust pipes run underneath the car they are directly exposed to the elements so can easily rust or become damaged.
What are the symptoms of a bad exhaust pipe?
Usually, there a few signs you can look for:
Loud noises from the exhaust
Decreased fuel efficiency
Loss of power
Rusted or loose exhaust pipes
Burning smell from the engine bay
Gas smell inside the car

Can you drive with a broken exhaust pipe?
We do not recommend driving when any part of your exhaust is broken. While you can still technically drive, it's neither safe nor legal and poses a number of issues when you're out on the road. Whether your exhaust pipes are cracked, rusted, hanging off or have fallen off completely, it's an important part of your vehicle which needs your immediate attention.
Not only could your car be emitting harmful gases as you drive, it could also be running at a decreased fuel efficiency, which may be costing you more money.
What happens if you don't change a broken exhaust pipe?
If you put off an exhaust pipe replacement, your car could be emitting harmful emissions as you drive which could breach the legal limit. Issues with your exhaust could also affect the performance of your car, such as decreased fuel efficiency and poor performance and acceleration.
Common questions about booking at Fixter
Common questions about booking at Fixter
All of our drivers are fully insured and your vehicle is always protected.
We put our drivers through rigorous vetting and training before they are able to drive your vehicle. All of our drivers must have at least 3 years of driving experience, hold a clean driver's licence, be over the age of 21, capable of driving both manual and automatic vehicles and pass a criminal background check.
Your vehicle will be assigned to a driver who is responsible for collecting it from your home, delivering it to the garage and returning your vehicle once all work is completed.
Sometimes we might coordinate with a garage for them to send their own driver to collect your vehicle. In this instance, you are protected as you would be if it was a Fixter driver.
One of our in-house mechanics will factor in the make and model of your car, as well as the work that needs doing. They will then allocate your booking to the most appropriate Fixter garage in your area, and we’ll email you to confirm.
Here’s why only 1 in 20 garages pass our selection criteria:
We only choose garages registered as a Limited Company, with a minimum of 3 years of trading.
We assess each garage's various established affiliations (e.g. Bosch / Unipart / Garage).
We perform an online audit: Fixter only selects garages with at least a 4 star customer rating.
We make sure to visit each garage in person. Our in-house mechanics evaluate the quality of equipment, staff qualifications, capacity, and technical capabilities of selected servicing centres. Fixter only works with garages which strictly use manufacturer-equivalent parts.
After all requirements are fulfilled, we negotiate preferential terms with each selected (including parts, labour, oil, and MOT test rates), so we can pass it along to our customers.
All parts used in repairs and services carried out by Fixter are either manufacturer parts or equivalent. This guarantees that only the best quality parts are used in your vehicle. We offer a 12-month warranty, meaning that should anything should go wrong with the parts or labour we’ll take care of it, free of charge.
We take your card details when you book online, but nothing is charged to your card until all the work has been approved by our in-house experts, and satisfactorily completed.
No extra work will be carried out without your consent. If additional work is required, one of our in-house experts will call you to walk through any diagnostic reports, recommendations or additional quotes from the mechanic working on your car. We check every quote to make sure the work is required and has been fairly priced.
Note: If you need to update your payment details to pay for your booking, the team will send you a secure link to add the new card details.
If your car fails its MOT at one of our garages, but you believe that your car should have passed, you'll have the option to take your car to another garage to do a new MOT test. If your vehicle passes the MOT at another garage, we’ll refund you for the original MOT test that you carried out with us. Collection and delivery fees are non-refundable.
All Fixter bookings are covered by a 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
If there’s a problem (with either parts or labour) up to 12 months after your booking date, we’ll sort it out for you, completely free of charge.
Just email support@fixter.co.uk or call our team on 0330 808 9527 and we’ll take care of it.
Note: this doesn't apply to an air con regas as leaks can occur at any time.
We understand that things change.
If you need to cancel or change your booking, please let us know asap. Our agents spend time finding you a top-rated garage, which is then booked to take care of your vehicle. In many cases, parts are ordered in advance. As a result, we operate a 72-hour cancellation policy. If you have a confirmed booking with us and need to cancel within 72 hours of the appointment, a cancellation fee of £20 may be applied.
We want to avoid that so our agents will work with you to try and find a new appointment instead. To discuss changing or cancelling a booking, please email or phone on 0330 808 9527.
Our team works Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
