Muffler Repair Cost

Muffler Damage If you hear any noise coming from the exhaust system first check to see if the muffler is still properly attached to the exhaust. Sometimes only the straps that hold them together might be broken. If this is not the case then the muffler itself might have a problem. The oxygen sensor is an important part at the start of the muffler. Information provided by the oxygen sensor is vital for the electronic controlling unit of the vehicle to maintain proper fuel-to-air ratio. Any change in this ratio affects the number of molecules of unburnt fuel in the exhaust and ultimately affects the sound waves that are produced within the exhaust system which the muffler is expected to neutralize. It is a good practice to replace the oxygen sensor after every 50 000 miles of running since these sensors tend to lose accuracy as time passes by. Clogging of the muffler and rusting are also common problems that take place. Problems with the muffler can lead to a lot of inconvenience as the car s sound levels can exceed permissible levels. Rusting is the worst problem not only with the muffler but also with the entire exhaust system. It is caused by moisture reacting with the metallic parts of the car. This problem gets enhanced by frequent short trips while driving as the water vapor does not get enough time to move out of the exhaust and it cools off to liquid state again thereby rusting the metal. For those living in coastal areas the salt in the water can add to the rusting woes. For more Info call 305-883-0717.Palm Ave Auto Tech
