The mufflers and the exhausts are often confused because they both deal with the management of the gases from the internal combustion engine. The mufflers are primarily designed to handle the noise produced by the exhaust system while the exhaust does the actual expelling of the gases out of the system.
Pipes and other components make up your car’s exhaust system. The engine makes noise as it moves exhaust gas from the combustion chamber to the outside of the vehicle. The muffler is developed to fit the individual needs of the type of gasses produced in the combustion chamber.
On the other hand, an exhaust is comprised of a manifold and piping that is meant to guide the exhaust gases out of the internal combustion engine. It has catalytic converters that will convert the toxic gases into compounds that can be safely released into the atmosphere without causing pollution to the air. Visit our service center at Larry H. Miller Colorado Jeep if you notice any problems with your muffler or exhaust system.
