It takes all the explosive gases coming from your engine – that’s everything from combustion to just general exhaust – and it dramatically reduces the noise. It does this with a series of chambers and tubes inside. Think of it like a maze for sound waves; it bounces them around and cancels a lot of it out. It also helps to direct the exhaust flow, which can actually give you a little bit of a performance boost, though that’s not really its main job. It’s part of your exhaust system, which starts at the engine and ends at the tailpipe. The exhaust system gets rid of those waste gases, and the silencer is the last major component before the exhaust exits the vehicle. It essentially cleans up the sound before it gets out into the world. It’s usually bolted right after the catalytic converter. Well, beyond not annoying the neighbors, it’s vital for legal reasons in most places. There are noise regulations, and a broken or missing muffler will almost certainly cause you to fail an inspection. But more than that, an exhaust leak caused by a failing silencer can let harmful gases into the cabin of your vehicle. You’ll notice if it’s going bad, usually a much louder exhaust note, or maybe a rattling sound underneath the car. You might even smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, which is a big warning sign.
