Say What? I Can’t Hear You Over the Sound of this Muffler.

Yep, you know what a bad muffler sounds like. The question is…will your vehicle’s muffler “give up the ghost” this Kansas City winter? We think of a smoothly working muffler as a way to keep the noise to a minimum, but a properly maintained exhaust system and a new muffler help keep the planet safe as well in addition to reducing noise.

 

Here are some signs that your vehicle’s muffler is going bad –

1.  The most obvious, of course, is the drastically louder noise it is making.

2.  Your gas mileage is beginning to diminish.

3.  There is a bad smell coming from your exhaust system.

Excuse Me…I Can’t Hear you Over the Muffler.

A bad muffler is not only a hinderance, but downright annoying as well!  While consistent vehicle maintenance is always a plus, there are few components where this is more vital than with your muffler.  If you wait too long to get your muffler serviced it will probably mean costly repair bills, and often a small problem easily turns into a much larger one.

Here are some of warning signs of a muffler going bad –

1.  Noise…you have heard that sound in other vehicles if not your own before.

2.  Lower MPG…pay attention when you fill up.

3.  Putrid smells…the fumes can be stuck in your car and that’s dangerous.

As they used to say about kids…well-working exhaust systems should be seen and NOT heard!  Common sense tells us that your muffler and your vehicle’s exhaust system need to be checked and serviced when necessary.  For that job, call the A-Team…the Kansas City area car repair professionals at Able Auto Service at 837 Osage Ave.  Call ahead at (913) 321-1030. 

Folks, It’s NOT an Appendix.

An appendix was put into our body for some unknown reason, and when it goes bad it has to be removed.  Do we really need an appendix?  Well, some might ask…does our car really need a muffler?  It IS necessary because the gas coming from the combustion in the pistons of the engine would generate an extremely loud noise if it were sent directly through the exhaust.

Dual exhausts have two mufflers and are normally used for high-performance cars.  One of the most obvious signs that your muffler needs to be looked at is that your vehicle is very loud while it is running. Should this occur, take your vehicle to a mechanic right away.  Eventually, it could damage other areas of your vehicle.
