One of the most important functions of the vehicle engine is to filter out toxic fumes from the combustion process. They are directed out of the tailpipe and into the air through the piping and components of the exhaust system.
The muffler has an important role to play in this process. It helps to absorb the vibration and sound of the exhaust system at work. Without a stable muffler, your car would be incredibly noisy whenever you accelerate. In addition to minimizing unpleasant noise, the muffler is vital in keeping the harmful gases moving in the right direction. When there is a clog or backflow problem with exhaust due to the muffler, there can be serious damage to the engine. Your car will also be less efficient.
Taking excellent care of your exhaust system and muffler will prevent unhealthy exposure to fumes and keep your car running smoothly and quietly.
