Automotive Muffler Parts Production by Metal Stamping

The private car has been a crown jewel of public consumption over the past hundred years since the notorious Henry Ford got wealthy from the Model “T” that gave people freedom of movement. In the last half of the 20th century and in the first decade of the 21st century the auto industry grew to be 10% of North America and Europe’s GDP, employing around 9 million people directly and five times that total in associated sectors. That means that 5% of the working population are employed by automotive companies and almost everybody is affected by the automobile in one way or another.

One part of a car wears out quickly and needs replacement on a regular basis is the muffler. The one that came with the car is long forgotten, now just part of a garbage mountain of fellow rusty mufflers on the outside of town. The automotive giant doesn’t make these directly but contracts from other manufacturers for a supply. In turn, a metal stamping factory turns the aluminum and steel into the necessary parts for the muffler factory. The metals are formed into the various parts through the process of metal stamping whereby coil, bar, or sheet metal working materials undergo die forming to shape the part. A die is a specialized tool that is used to press the material into the desired shapes.

How To Install A Magnaflow Muffler On A Mini Cooper S

1. Your Magnaflow exhaust package comes with three pieces–a resonator, center pipe, and muffler section. The front resonator comes with a mounting flange that bolts right onto your stock catalytic converter. This part connects to a center pipe that is secured with exhaust clamps, which are supplied. And the rear muffler section joins together, exiting the car in the center of the rear bumper. Also, all the parts are stainless steel, which don’t rust or stain–nice job Magnaflow.

2. Now to the installation. You will only need a few common tools to remove your stock exhaust; no exhaust cutters are needed. Make sure you have help installing the system, it is very heavy and you will not want to drop it.

Performance Muffler

When someone mentions a performance muffler we think of something ceramic packed straight through, loud muffler that will have to be replaced after a few years because the insides have come apart and don’t work as they should any more. Things have changed, and technology has changed more things than any of us could have ever imagined, including the performance muffler.

The aero turbine muffler made by aero exhaust is the product of science and technology advances. This performance muffler is the first product to combine the performance benefits of a straight through muffler without insulation that breaks down over time. The Aero Turbine performance muffler is based on jet engine and thermal dynamic technology. The incoming exhaust air stream is rapidly expanded and split via an airfoil cone with an orifice similar to a jet engine. The outer air stream accelerates as it recombines with the inner air stream. The air then begins to spin, due to the velocity and air transfers. The recombining of the airstreams creates a vacuum that both muffler the exhaust sound and increases the exhaust flow. This allows the engine to breath easier and dramatically increases the vehicles performance and economy.
