Answer: Welded on
Below would be how to repair if the muffler has broken away from the exhaust pipe.
If you have a welding machine:
If your just attaching the muffler, You would need to attach the muffler to its hanger, then find a way to secure it to the exhaust so you can then weld it in place.
If you do not have a welding machine:
Most auto repair shops, have a welding machine so that they can do these kind of repairs if you lose your muffler, you can also purchase some special muffler/exhaust tape to tape around the break. Using the tape is a temporary fix.
A muffler is a device used in the exhaust system of a vehicle to reduce noise produced by the engine. In a sentence, you could say, "The mechanic replaced the old muffler with a new one to make the car quieter."
on the exhaust pipe ;)
Crawl under the vehicle and find the exhaust pipe coming from the engine. It will connect to the catalytic converter and from there to the muffler.
The exhaust valve, the exhaust manifold, the header pipe, the catalytic converter, the muffler and the tail pipe, not to mention the clamps and hangers.
It carries the exhaust away from each cylinder and routes it to the exhaust pipe where it flows to the catalytic converter and then to the muffler where the sound is deadened. It then flows from the muffler to the tailpipe where it is released into the atmosphere.
its about 2.5" but that is from the headers to the muffler and the tail pipe is 3"
That big pipe on the bottom of your car with the cat and muffler on it, ends in a tail pipe, squirts pixie dust.
carbon monoxide
Put a potatoe in the exhaust pipe
Doing it yourself? Just the muffler? $50+/- Take it to a muffler shop where they'll replace the exhaust pipe, the tail pipe and the muffler with a "lifetime replacement", and it could get expensive.
It is in the exhaust pipe system. start looking in the exhaust system, starting up by the exhaust manifolds and work your way towards the muffler. There will not be any after the muffler. It is about 3 inches long and screewed into the exhaust pipe with a electric wire on the end of it.
If you were to cut off your exhaust pipe the muffler would come off with it, sence it is attached to the very end... I would be alot louder, it might hurt your MPG rating....
