Expert Exhaust Repairs and Custom Upgrades in Fingal Bay
The exhaust system does much more than just reduce engine noise. It safely directs harmful gases away from the vehicle’s cabin, reduces emissions to comply with Australian Design Rules, and ensures your engine operates efficiently. Even a minor leak can lead to increased pollution, loss of engine power, and higher fuel consumption with every kilometre driven.
Warning Signs That Your Exhaust Needs Servicing
A timely inspection can prevent costly repairs down the track. Consider booking a service if you notice any of the following:
- Unusual noises like growling, hissing, or rattling from beneath your vehicle
- Exhaust smoke that is smoky, has a strange odour, or appears discoloured
- A noticeable drop in fuel efficiency or sluggish response when accelerating
- Vibrations felt through the steering wheel, seat, or pedals
These issues often indicate exhaust leaks, clogged catalytic converters, or damaged hangers — problems that tend to worsen if left unattended.
Our Exhaust Repair Expertise
At Riley's Mechanical & More, our Repco‑trained technicians combine modern diagnostic gear with decades of hands‑on know‑how to:
- Locate and seal exhaust and manifold leaks
- Replace rusted or damaged mufflers, resonators, and pipework
- Restore lost power with high‑flow catalytic converters and fresh oxygen sensors
- Ensure every repair meets or exceeds ADR emissions standards for your peace of mind
Every part and every labour hour is protected nationwide, so you can tour the country knowing any workshop in the Repco Authorised Service network has you covered.
Custom Exhaust Upgrades – Make It Your Own
If you’re chasing extra kilowatts, a throatier note, or simply longer‑lasting stainless steel, we design and fit bespoke systems to suit daily drivers, classics, and serious 4WDs alike. Popular options include:
- Mandrel‑bent cat‑back or turbo‑back systems – smoother flow, stronger torque
- Performance headers – freer breathing from the cylinder head out
- High‑flow catalytic converters & resonators – power without the drone
Twin‑tip & quad‑tip rear sections – style that matches the sound
Custom work is mapped to your engine management, so upgrades deliver real‑world gains without triggering warning lights or voiding warranties.
Diesel & 4WD Specialists
Hauling caravans through the High Country or crawling over Stockton dunes calls for robust exhausts that can handle heat and sand. We build heavy‑duty systems with thick‑wall stainless, flex joints, and tucked‑up tailpipes for the best ground clearance when the tracks get rough.
