If you have a vehicle, then you probably know a little bit about your muffler and your exhaust system. However, you should have a more basic understanding of these parts of your vehicle. Here's a look at what you should know about your vehicle's muffler and exhaust.
What is a Muffler?
The muffler is the silencer of your exhaust system. Without the muffler, your exhaust system will make loud noises every type you drive your vehicle. A typical muffler will last five to seven years before it requires replacement.
What is the Exhaust System?
?The exhaust system is responsible for taking the exhaust fumes from your engine to the outside of the vehicle. It is important to make sure that your exhaust system is always in working order. A poorly performing exhaust system can lead to sluggish performance or cause dangerous fumes to leak into the cabin of your vehicle.
