Introduction: What is a Muffler and Why Should I Replace It?
A muffler is an essential part of your car’s exhaust system. Its purpose is to reduce the loudness of the exhaust noise generated by the engine as it runs.

Much like other parts of the vehicle, a muffler can wear out over time and need to be replaced. This is because the materials used to make a muffler are not designed to last indefinitely. Constant exposure to high temperatures and the elements will eventually cause the muffler to wear out, making it necessary to replace it with a new one. Ignoring a damaged or worn out muffler can also lead to other problems with your vehicle, such as decreased performance and
