Mufflers
Basically the muffler is what makes driving in your vehicle tolerable. You could of course still operate an automobile with no muffler, however the sound could be damaging to your ears. Not only does the muffler “muffle” the sound but it also makes the engine more efficient and reduces engine heat.
Filters
As a general rule of thumb, your engine filter should be replaced about every 12,000 miles or 1 year, whatever comes first. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for exact information. Generally the oil filter should be changed about every 3-5,000 miles along with changing your oil. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for exact information.. Just like your air filter, your fuel filter should be replaced once a year or every 12k miles. When the fuel filter is clean, your car can perform at its peak which can also prevent any long term damage. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for exact information.
Catalytic Converter
In an attempt to lower your vehicles carbon footprint, it has two catalytic converters located in it. These converters take the harmful pollutants the vehicle produces and converts them into less harmful emissions before it leaves the exhaust. Many car enthusiasts who enjoy a fast ride will have a catalytic converter removed which affects the exhaust system, ultimately making it seem like the car has a roaring engine. However, it’s not recommended that you remove these converters because there’s enough pollution as is – why add to it? Plus, many state laws require your vehicle has a functioning catalytic converter.
Exhaust Pipe
Any pipes within your engine are part of your exhaust system. Within your exhaust system, you’ll find four main components, the cylinder head, turbocharger, catalytic converter, and the muffler. Together, these parts work to convert the burnt gases your engine produces. The exhaust pipe is carefully constructed as it has a very important job to carry out which is keeping harmful gases out of the passenger cabin. When you take your vehicle in for a general inspection, they’ll make sure to check the exhaust pipe, because without a proper working one, you could run into some serious problems.
