What Owners Say
"One night, after picking up my 14yr-old from practice, the car was making so much noise he was inspired to make vroom-vroom noises all the way home. We laughed at how much my car sounded like a street racer, but eventually I did take it to the mechanic. The exhaust and the muffler had major holes from rust and decay. Both had to be replaced. Not sure how my car had passed inspection just 5 days prior to the noise starting, but it did."

"The catalytic converter needs to be replaced. It can be expected because of the age and mileage on the vehicle. Just had the starter replaced as well"
