What is a muffler?
Mufflers are an essential part of a vehicle exhaust system, and they play a crucial role in reducing the noise generated by your engine. They work by dampening sound waves as they travel through the exhaust pipes, muffling them until they leave the tailpipe as a much quieter hum. Without mufflers, cars would be unbearably loud and uncomfortable to drive. So, if you want to keep your car running smoothly and quietly, it’s important that you know what kind of muffler is best for your vehicle.Benefits of having a muffler
- Reduces engine noise by up to 50%
- Maintains your car’s performance and fuel efficiency
- Keeps you and your passengers safe by reducing exhaust emissions
- Enjoy a peaceful, quieter drive.
- Protect the environment by choosing a more efficient exhaust system.
Two main types of mufflers:
Resonator Type
Resonator-type or hotdogs uses chambers with perforated walls to absorb certain frequencies from the sound waves passing through it, resulting in higher-pitched noises coming out of the tailpipe. See actual hotdog products. Click here
Absorber Type
Absorber-type mufflers use material such as fibreglass or steel wool inside their chambers to absorb more energy from sound waves before exiting through the tailpipe which results in lower overall noise levels than resonators can achieve on their own.
