How a Muffler Works
The muffler in your vehicle serves one main
purpose; to quiet the natural sound made by internal combustion engines.
Mufflers come in all sizes and applications, from the stock quiet one, to the
throatier sound of a performance muffler. There are basically two types of
mufflers; noise canceling and material packed. In the noise canceling (usually
performance) barriers are welded into the muffler to reflect the sound back into
itself to cancel it out. In a material style there is a packing, usually around
a perforated tube that dampens the sound.
