Rear silencer / Middle silencer

How can the muffler on the car go defective and what are the symptoms?

Mufflers on the car are above all susceptible to rust. External influences such as road salt and stone chips affect the material and cause rust and in the long term also holes or let the mounts rust through. Likewise, the mufflers in the car can also rust from the inside. This often happens in vehicles that are mainly driven only short distances. As a result, the exhaust system does not reach operating temperature and the condensation water produced in the combustion process cannot evaporate. It accumulates in the exhaust pipes and in the mufflers and attacks the material. Wear is further accelerated by the presence of residual pollutants such as sulfur, which are contained in the condensation water.

Defective mufflers or broken exhaust pipes are generally manifested by loud roaring at the exhaust. A rattling or banging can also indicate defective exhaust pipes or mufflers, if the brackets are rusted through and the components hit the body. If the brackets are broken, they should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid tearing off parts of the exhaust system. Loud exhaust noises can lead to a fine during a traffic control, so defective parts of the exhaust system should also be repaired promptly. Smaller holes can be sealed with a exhaust repair paste. For larger damage, replace the appropriate components. A visual inspection shows which muffler on the car or which exhaust pipe is affected. Only these need to be replaced.
