What is the Difference Between an Exhaust Pipe and a Muffler?

Go ahead, take a look at the back of another vehicle and see the exhaust pipe sticking out. When you do what do you call it? That is a muffler…right?  What does a muffler do? Have you wondered what the exhaust actually is? These are things that the A-Team at Able Auto Service of Kansas City routinely answers every day.

Your vehicle’s engine produces a large amount of harmful emissions that come from that need to be converted into safe gasses and released away from your car and into the air.
