The exhaust system of your vehicle performs many noble actions. First, it keeps toxic fumes away from the passenger cabin of your car. Secondly, your exhaust's components work diligently to regulate how much fuel goes to your car (via the oxygen sensor component). One little leak is all it takes to see this system fall apart. The results are sometimes startling.
An exhaust leak can spawn symptoms that include sights, sounds, and feelings. Your vehicle may vibrate when you accelerate, give off horrible burning smells while you're driving, and even begin to consume more fuel than usual. Power and acceleration typically decrease, leaving you wondering what's ailing your car. Like most other problems, exhaust leaks might mirror other serious problems with your vehicle.
