OEM Nissan Nissan Sentra Exhaust Parts

What Does an Exhaust System Do for Your Nissan Sentra?

It helps remove toxic byproducts -- those created when the engine under the hood of the sedan burns air and fuel for power. This is the case for all compact cars that run at least partly on gas, in fact -- not just Nissan Sentra.

What are the Main Parts of the Car's Exhaust?

There are five: a catalytic converter (a "cat," for short), a muffler, a resonator, an exhaust manifold, and a tail pipe.

How Do Exhausts Work Generally?

First, pollutants like nitrogen oxide pass through the cat, where platinum group metals --namely, rhodium, palladium, and platinum itself -- split them into nitrogen and oxygen, holding the former back and allowing the latter to flow onward. The process also burns up both hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Meanwhile, the muffler and resonator optimize airflow and limit operational noise. The exhaust manifold then pushes cleaner gases (a mostly harmless combination of carbon dioxide and water vapor) down an exhaust pipe, whether they enter the tail pipe and flow out, scattering into the air.

What are the Signs of Exhaust Failure in a Sentra?

Much like in other cars, they include worsening gas mileage, Check Engine and other warnings lighting up the dashboard, unusual noises coming out of the muffler and/or exhaust pipe, and a sulfuric odor like rotten eggs. They'll all show up similarly, whether you drive a model from 1984 or a more modern one from 2022. See any such symptoms, though, and you should inspect the exhaust; be sure to replace any of the parts recommended by the results.

When Should You Change Exhaust Parts Otherwise?

Put in a new resonator and/or muffler in your Sentra about every 2 to 4 years or so. The sedan's catalytic converter, you should reinstall new about every 100,000 miles. When buying parts online, though, make sure to get only the genuine article, not something off the aftermarket.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Exhaust?

Nissan will have designed it specifically for the car you love. That kind of compatibility guarantee, you may not get from an aftermarket exhaust. Even if you do, its parts may function less reliably.
