Being a vehicle owner inevitably requires some auto parts knowledge. Some parts are better known than others. Most people know of exhausts and mufflers, but do you know how they work? Our Elgin Toyota service techs have the short answers for you.
How Your Vehicle's Muffler Works
Your vehicle's muffler contains a series of tubes or holes in its interior. Engine sound waves, carbon dioxide and water vapor pass through the muffler en route to the tailpipe. The muffler's shape and the presence and gas and vapor change the acoustics of the engine's sound waves. As a result, the engine makes less racket during commutes on Streamwood highways and other roads.
How Your Vehicle's Exhaust Works
Your vehicle's exhaust system includes the muffler. Before recruiting the muffler's help, the exhaust system absorbs harmful gases emitted from cylinders within the engine combustion chamber. These noxious gases turn into water vapor and carbon dioxide after traveling through a catalytic converter. Lastly, the vapor and gases leave your car via the tailpipe, keeping vehicle occupants and the environment safer.
