Cars Q&A

Technically, a damage to the exhaust manifold will not cause any increase in fuel consumption. It is not very uncommon, due to the low base clearance of the car, the silencer box is prone to damage. The sound of the car will not change, what could have changed is the sound of the emission due to the cracks in the silencer box. I dont think there is any need to change it, local repairs should do the trick, a replacement could cost you around Rs.4000/-

A damaged exhaust will not affect fuel consumption. Depending on the damage you can either get it repaired at local garages at Rs. 800/- or get it replaced from a Hyundai dealer which would cost around Rs. 7500/-.

Silencer replacement costs approx Rs.1100 and Rs. 100 for labour...i got mine replaced a month back at a local mechanic...It affects the car exhaust sound, but no major effect on mileage...The hyundai dealer will lighten your wallet by atleast 4500 bucks...

Dear Shiv,
There would be no impact on fuel consumption due to damaged exhaust.New exhaust will cost you 8 to 10k.Sound may change due to damage mesh of exhaust.

Guys, i see here 4 rates quoted by you people - 4000, 7500, 1100 , 8 to 10k.

would like to know which is the right price.

PS Mukund - u said u got the silencer for 1100. Are you talking about the new one ? cos i dont think a silencer that too from HYUNDAI can come for such a cheap price.

Hi...

I had a damaged silencer / muffler. I got a new one from a local dealer in chembur (mumbai), and not from a hyundai store.

If you plan to replace the entire exhaust line with local parts, it will set u back by atleast 1000 + 1000 + 1100 + Labour (exhaust has three parts to it, the muffler being the last one)

The price wuld be 7k,but as of the the low ground clearence it culd damage again so according to me repairing from local garage is the best idea.

At grant road i paid Rs 2800 for change of Muffler and repairing the exhaust pipe labour included for the accent car, this is for a good job

what could be cost if I want to change rear shock absorbers to my 2007 accent GVS model. I got it changed in Mytvs, Kukatpally Hyderabad, they charged me Rs.9000/- towards two studs excluding ring and bushes. can some body light on the excess charged by MyTVS. They told they have changed with MINDA brand.

Where I can get a used exhaust system for Accent petrol
