Drivers in Lawrence and Carbondale, KS can look out for these classic signs of a bad muffler:
Your muffler is responsible for silencing the noise that comes out of the exhaust of your car. A defective or broken muffler will mean that your car becomes much louder than it was while your muffler was still working. In addition to this, faulty mufflers can have a severe impact on your gas mileage. This is because your muffler filters out exhaust fumes and a clogged filter can cause your engine to run less optimally.
Besides the fuel efficiency concerns, if your muffler breaks and your car becomes too noisy, you can get a noise violation ticket. Severely damaged mufflers can also fall off in traffic causing hazardous situations for other drivers and potentially damaging other parts of your vehicle if they get stuck. Muffler repair is one of the best examples of an affordable and quick repair for your vehicle that can save you tons of money down the road.
