Muffler
The muffler minimizes the sound coming from your exhaust, so that your vehicle runs as quietly as possible (unless you have a custom exhaust that you want to sound louder on purpose).

Frequently Asked Questions regarding Catalytic Converters
How do you know if your catalytic converter is broken?
You’ll notice a loud rumbling or roaring sound when you turn on the engine if your catalytic converter is missing. This sound gets louder when you hit the gas. The exhaust is not working correctly, so the vehicle also drives rougher than usual, often with a sense of sputtering as you change speed.
Will catalytic converters cause check engine light?
Your check engine light can come on for a variety of reasons. One of them is a failing catalytic converter. If your check engine light is on, get it looked at as soon as possible. If it is flashing, pull over immediately and call for help.
Why does my car sound so loud when I accelerate?
How does exhaust affect fuel consumption?
Where is my catalytic converter located?
Catalytic Converters are a part of the exhaust system and are generally under the car near the rear. Replacing or repairing a catalytic converter requires an experienced mechanic for welding and a heavy-duty lift to raise the vehicle to a proper and safe height.
