Although there are so many, there are only three principal functions of car mufflers:

  1. Filtering the disposal gasses. The mufflers are equipped with catalytic converters which convert toxic carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water vapor.
  2. Increasing engine performance. Aftermarket mufflers provide back pressure. It is appropriate in order to produce optimum engine power. That's why most people trying to replace their standard mufflers with the aftermarket one.
  3. Reducing noise and providing "melodious sound". It depends on the mufflers model. The voice that came out of it probably be low, loud up to ear splitting-roar.

But, choosing a fit muffler for the car sometimes is easier said than done. The wrong picking could reduce three mufflers' principal functions above even miss them. Here are guidelines for you:

  • Match your taste and the price. Sometimes, the taste and the price can not run together. If your taste is high but you do not have sufficient funds, you will get nothing. But, currently, you can find in the market many low-end performance mufflers with a price $40 to $80 to satisfy your taste.
  • Choose the size and design that suit your car. Make sure that your new mufflers' diameter is same with the old one. commonly, there are three size of muffler diameters in the market, 3”, 3.5” and 4”. The bigger muffler diameter your car has the more it needs the fuel.
  • Consider the durable materials to avoid corrosion. Whether you choose aluminum or stainless steel depending on your money. Aluminized mufflers are cheaper than stainless-steel one.
