In 2002, the first compact Hyundai hatchback getz. Its production began during the period environmental standard EURO-3. This means that in the exhaust system in without fail a catalytic converter was installed.

The exhaust system for gasoline engines included the following components:

• exhaust manifold articulated with catalytic converter;
• receiving pipe with corrugation;
• central muffler;
• main resonator;
• rubber-metal suspensions, gaskets, clamps.

Depending on the year of manufacture, the exhaust pipe was made in two various options. In the first case, the bend passed under the spar, and the resonator was connected to the inlet pipe using studs with nuts, in the second case, above it, and the connection to the resonator was made with an annular clamp.

Goffer corrugation replacement: preliminary information

Gofra plays important role in the leveling of mechanical influences on the elements of the exhaust system. It is made in such a way that, while maintaining tightness, it can change its geometric parameters in small ranges.

Corrugation, depending on the design, has two or three layers. The outer layer in most cases is a flat profile wire braid made of alloyed heat-resistant steel. This part perceives the load and is the main supporting element. The second layer is a metal bellows. It is sealed and performs the function of a pass exhaust gases.

Most modern corrugations have an additional protective covering. It is made of metal plates or strands of wire, similar to the outer protective layer.

On both sides there are flanges made of thick-walled metal pipes. Through them welding with pipes is carried out exhaust system.

Replacing the muffler corrugation Hyundai Getz: prerequisites

There are several main corrugation faults:

• violation of tightness due to burnout of the bellows;
• destruction of the upper protective layer;
• breakage of the central part at the base of the flanges;
• destruction of welds.

All these malfunctions can lead to the final rupture of the exhaust tract and the appearance of an emergency.

When is a Getz corrugation replacement necessary?

The engine is not rigidly fixed to the car body. It is mounted on elastic rubber cushions. This is done so that the vibration does not break connecting elements, since it is not yet possible to balance the engine by 100% and completely eliminate vibration. In addition, various abnormal processes in the engine, such as detonation or malfunction of the ignition system, will cause vibration even when perfectly balanced.

All elements of the exhaust system also have some degree of freedom in movement. This allows you to compensate for the thermal expansion of the metal, microdeformations of the body and dampen other mechanical effects on the components of the exhaust system without destroying them.

The main element that compensates for these movements of the exhaust tract is the corrugation. If all design loads do not exceed allowed values, it can function for quite a long time. However, there are several factors that accelerate the wear process:

All these factors accelerate the process of destruction. A failing corrugation gives certain signs by which you can pre-determine a malfunction:

1. Changing the exhaust sound of a running engine. There is a specific secant rustle of the exhaust system. If the destruction has already reached a large scale, the secant sound will change to a characteristic roar.
2. The appearance of the smell of exhaust gases in the cabin and engine compartment.
3. Rattling sound at the front of the exhaust system. It appears due to subsidence of the corrugation at touching the spar with the exhaust pipe.

IMPORTANT! The appearance of the smell of exhaust gases in the passenger compartment of the car not only causes discomfort, but can also cause serious chemical poisoning. Especially dangerous is the operation of a car with a leaky exhaust system with a missing or inoperative catalyst. In this case, the exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is a poison.

When these signs appear, it is necessary to undergo a diagnosis. The verification process consists of visual inspection corrugation integrity. Inspection is often performed on running engine to detect leaks invisible to the eye.

Corrugation for Hyundai Getz: replacement and pre-selection

Replacement begins with an assessment of the condition of the downpipe fasteners. Often it is not possible to disconnect the downpipe without the use of a cutting tool due to heavy corrosion. If you cannot unscrew the nuts of the flange connections, the corrugation is changed on the spot without dismantling the front pipe. This is a little more technically difficult.

If the nuts are loosened, the exhaust pipe is removed from the vehicle. A metal frame is welded on both sides of the receiving pipe with a slight indent from the flanges. This is done to maintain the correct relative position of the downpipe mounting points. Next, the damaged corrugation is cut out. The ends of the pipes are cleaned. A new corrugation is welded in. The joints are carefully welded. Welds covered with anti-corrosion heat resistant paint.

After replacement, the sound of the exhaust system is normalized and the smell of exhaust gases disappears.

Today the market is filled with corrugations of various design, price and quality. It is recommended not to save here. This is due to the fact that the cost of the replacement itself is comparable to the cost of a quality sample. And in the end, a cheap copy can cost more, given the short service life and the need for frequent replacement.

It is preferable to install a three-layer version of the corrugations, since their resource is higher. Two-layer options can also be considered, but only from trusted manufacturers.

The most common modification in Russia is the Hyundai Getz 1.4 (97 hp). The corrugation that is on this machine is a metal sleeve woven from metal strips.

The process of replacing the muffler corrugation on the Hyundai Getz 1.4 begins with the dismantling of the exhaust tract, which contains this part. Next, the old corrugation is cut off by a grinder, and a new one is welded in its place. The seams are painted with heat-resistant paint and the updated section of the exhaust system can be put back into the car. For cars with other engines, the replacement process is similar.

It became- new corrugation circled in red

You can understand that a corrugation needs to be replaced by changing the sound of the engine, which becomes similar to a tractor.

Manufacturers produce two types of corrugations - innerbraid and interlock. This is where their difference lies.

• Innerbraid- the inner layer is made in the form of a stainless steel braid. It is cheaper and breaks down faster from vibration.
• Interlock- an inner layer of stainless steel plates in the form of a flexible metal sleeve. Possesses the increased flexibility, durability and a resource.

Causes of corrugation shell rupture

There may be several such reasons. The sooner they are identified and eliminated, the cheaper the cost of repairs will be. Basically, the rupture of the braid occurs in the following cases.

What is a corrugation of the exhaust system of a car?

The car muffler corrugation is a corrugated stainless steel braided metal sleeve used to connect intake manifold with the main exhaust line. The second task of the corrugation is to dampen the vibration of a running engine and muffler. This connecting piece is constantly exposed to temperature and fluctuations, which often leads to corrugation failure. This spare part cannot be restored, so in all cases it is necessary to replace the failed module.

The corrugation is a flexible part, the body of which is equipped with a weaving of durable metal in the form of a mesh. This part is present in the exhaust system of almost any car. In fact, the corrugation is an intermediate element between the muffler and the exhaust pipe.

Due to its location under the bottom of the car with an external mechanical action the element may fail prematurely, as a result of which there is a need for repair work, replacing the element in case natural wear and tear details.

In fact, the muffler corrugation is a kind of exhaust system fuse that protects other elements from vibrations during engine operation. Under their influence, it is the corrugation that breaks first, and its repair or replacement is much cheaper than other repair parts.

Important! Distinctive feature corrugations is its elasticity and tightness, the ability to bend and stretch to reasonable limits.

The muffler corrugation is produced in two main versions:

• Double braided - great for vehicles with gasoline engine. The inner braid helps to protect the corresponding part of the body from damage. A stronger outer sheath allows you to protect the element from strong impacts or vibrations during the movement of the car, which lead to the destruction of the element.
• Triple-braided - installed on gasoline and diesel vehicles. Such a corrugation is characterized by increased strength and is especially relevant for cars with a total mileage of more than 100,000 km.

Three-layer elements, in turn, are divided into two more types:

• Innerbraid - for such elements, the inner layer is made in the form of stainless steel plates.
• Interlock - the inner layer is made in the form of a metal braid with high strength.

The first version of the three-layer corrugation is cheaper in cost, but does not have a long service life. While parts like Interlock are more expensive and have long term use.

Causes of corrugation breakdown, and by what signs it is possible to determine the malfunction

Like most parts of the car exhaust system, and despite a long service life, the corrugation can fail. In this case, the part will need to be replaced.

The following situations can lead to element failure:

Important! Besides, premature exit out of service given element can cause and self-installation, especially if the motorist does not have the necessary knowledge and skills. A failed corrugation cannot be repaired; in this case, it will be required complete replacement details. Despite the apparent simplicity, the replacement procedure is recommended to be carried out in a car service.

You can determine the malfunction of the part yourself by several signs:

• Increased noise and vibration in the front of the vehicle while driving.
• The appearance inside the car of a pungent smell of a mixture of exhaust gases.
• Reduced engine power, which is caused by incorrect operation of the oxygen sensor.
• Increased fuel consumption.

If one or more signs of a muffler corrugation malfunction are found, it is recommended to contact technical Center, whose experts will conduct necessary diagnostics and carry out all repair work.

Replacing the muffler corrugation in a car service

The corrugation is one of those parts that cannot be repaired; here a replacement with a similar part will be required. For an experienced car service specialist, the procedure will not be difficult and will not take much time. The process itself can be divided into several main stages:

Important! As a rule, the corrugation is installed with an overlap to the muffler pipe. If during the replacement process it is possible to remove the damaged element without harming the pipes inserted into it, then a new corrugation for correct operation and easy installation should match the old one in length. In the case when a part of the muffler pipe is cut off, it is necessary to select a new corrugation a few centimeters longer than the old one.

The corrugated element can be installed in different ways, depending on the design of the exhaust system: vertically or horizontally.

• The vertical element works in compression, the part is not subjected to bending. The length of the corrugation, as a rule, does not exceed 15 centimeters, and the inner radius is 6.5 centimeters. The design of such a corrugation should be more reinforced. When selecting a new vertical corrugation, it is necessary to choose a part of the same size.
• A corrugation installed in a horizontal position is more prone to bending during engine operation. The length of such an element can reach 40 centimeters, and the inner radius - 6.5, as in the previous case. When installing a horizontal element, it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality of the connecting seam.

conclusions

It is important to understand that untimely replacement a failed element can affect the operation of the entire vehicle. Beginner drivers are advised to seek help from specialized car services, where qualified specialists work and have all the necessary equipment.

Important! Specialists will not only perform all the work on highest level and will provide the motorist with all the guarantees, but will also help you choose the item that is right for your car. In this case, the cost will be the sum of the price of a new element and the work to install it. A new corrugation can also be purchased at a specialized auto parts store.

It is important to understand that the self-installation of a new corrugation can lead to an increase in voltage between the car engine and the exhaust system, which, in turn, can lead to premature wear neighboring parts and additional repair costs.
