Mufflers and catalytic converter systems can be complex, but they play a vital role in the overall safety and performance of your vehicle. Here are answers to some of the questions our customers commonly ask us.

1. What are mufflers? Mufflers are the part of your exhaust system that dampen the sound made by processing engine byproducts. They are attached to the end of the exhaust system and their role is to limit noise.
2. What does a muffler and exhaust system do? The exhaust system converts harmful gases and fumes into safer components that can be released into the air. This process causes a lot of noise, however. The muffler’s job is to dampen this noise.
3. How do mufflers work? Within your muffler are baffled passages for gas to pass through. These mufflers cause sound waves to bounce against each other, thereby neutralizing them and reducing noise.
4. What are common signs of muffler problems? The most common signs of muffler problems are decreased fuel economy and increased engine noise.
5. What is muffler repair? Muffler repair can entail adjusting tuning, repairing for emissions standards, catalytic converter repair, and more.
6. Why is muffler service required? Mufflers help control the backpressure of your engine. When something is wrong with your muffler, performance and endurance can be affected.
7. What is muffler replacement? Muffler replacement is when one or more components of the exhaust system need to be switched out for new components.
8. How often should mufflers be replaced? While several external factors can cause premature aging, most mufflers need to be replaced every 5-7 years.
9. What muffler services do you offer? We offer all kinds of muffler services, including emissions repairs, diagnostics, repairs, performance tuning, replacements, maintenance, and more.
10. Do you have any tips to maintain my muffler? Have your undercarriage inspected regularly and try not to drive too fast over speed bumps and potholes. Also, try not to drive too much if your check engine light is on.
