Can You Extend the Life and Mileage of Your Car’s Exhaust and Muffler System?
Posted by admin in Auto Muffler on March 16, 2011
Most auto owners do not give the exhaust system of their vehicle one minute though. That is until they hear a loud boom, exhaust hissing or rattling noises coming quite scarily from the rear of their car or truck. On top of that there are health and safety concerns from exhaust gasses. You can almost bet by the time they get to that point that they are going to be recipients of a large muffler or exhaust system repair bill. Is their any way that most motorists can extend the life and driving span of their exhaust and muffler system or systems?
Basically put your car or truck’s exhaust system includes the exhaust manifold, muffler, connecting pipes and in some cases a resonator. Any automobile made in the last 30 years will definitely have a catalytic converter you can bet. Single exhaust setups use an exhaust manifold of a single exhaust pipe, muffler assembly and tail pipe that extends under of just short of the rear bumper whereas on a dual exhaust system arrangement two exhaust pipes and a muffler assembly are used together with two resonators, two tail pipes. Each assembly is connected to it s own exhaust manifold and carries the exhaust gasses to the rear of the vehicle.

The muffler is a device that reduces the amount of noise emitted by a vehicle and when this part develops a fault of even the smallest kind, muffler auto repair will soon be required. When this part starts to fail, noticeable effects will result and the vehicle may seem much noisier than usual. This may attract the attention of fellow road users and those passing by or, at its worst, you may get yourself into trouble for not adhering to laws relating to sound pollution.
If you are unsure whether your muffler requires repair, you should listen for any loud and/or abnormal noises that appear to be coming from the vehicle. This may be indicative of cracks or holes in the muffler itself. In addition, you may witness the formation of rust or the presence of soot on the tailpipe. If left unrepaired, a damaged muffler may result in increased air pollution.
