Answer:
Mufflers and exhaust systems are crucial components of your vehicle that manage and reduce engine noise and emissions. The muffler's primary function is to minimize the noise produced by the engine, while the exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and exhaust pipes, helps direct and treat exhaust gases. A properly functioning muffler and exhaust system are essential for maintaining your vehicle's safety, performance, and environmental compliance. Regular maintenance and timely repairs ensure optimal engine efficiency and reduce harmful emissions.
