So you’re thinking about changing that muffler of yours eh? Well, that’s a good start. Not only will your vehicle get a more masculine sound, upgrading to custom made performance exhaust mufflers (whew!) would also boost your horsepower up to 20hp. In any case, it’s hitting two birds with one stone. But before you think about searching the almighty web for a custom exhaust muffler that has a healthy balance between price and performance, let’s delve into the puff puff pass (no, not that) world of the muffler.

Alright, as a kid I thought that mufflers were only a huge chunk of metal where the car coughs out all its gas exhaust. Upon maturation, and a couple of armpit hair or two, I didn’t know that it acted like a gun’s silencer. That it actually silenced the sound of the exhaust. Hell, that’s why it’s called a muffler anyway. But then again, that’s what happens if you had ADHD as a child. But I digress.

Anyway, mufflers are used to-yes, you guessed it-to muffle the sound coming from your engine’s exhaust. If a car didn’t have any mufflers, then the world would be much more of a noisy place. In any case, exhaust passes through one side of the muffler and then bounces off the other, then passes through the exhaust head, thus displacing sound in the process.

That’s why some individuals customize their cars with performance exhaust mufflers. These mufflers provide better exhaust travel as well as give that roaring sound. So if you’re planning to upgrade that muffler of yours, be sure to check the quality of those parts and get them from trusted brands only.
