Corroded Pipes: Over time, exhaust pipes can rust and corrode, leading to holes and leaks.
Damaged Gaskets: Worn or damaged gaskets between exhaust components can cause leaks at the connection points.
Loose or Broken Bolts: Bolts that secure exhaust components can loosen or break, leading to gaps and leaks.
Cracked Manifold: The exhaust manifold can develop cracks due to high temperatures, leading to leaks.
Faulty Seals: Seals in the exhaust system can wear out or fail, causing leaks where components meet.
Impact Damage: Physical damage from road debris or collisions can puncture or dent exhaust pipes, resulting in leaks.
Poor Installation: Incorrectly installed exhaust components can create misalignments and gaps that cause leaks.
Exhaust Flex Pipe Damage: The flex pipe, designed to absorb vibrations and movement, can crack or tear, leading to leaks in the system.
