What color is the smoke? Black smoke means the engine is running rich and probably needs a tuneup, including the air filter. Bluish smoke means the engine is burning oil. The valve seals may be leaking. If the smoke is white (actually steam), coolant is getting into the combustion chamber - or - it is just condensation in the exhaust system (normal in cool or rainy weather and early mornings).

Can one drive a car without a muffler?

You can drive a car without a muffler, but you should not. It is illegal. Driving without a muffler allows many pollutants into the air. Technically yes, a car can be driven without a muffler but there are a few good reasons not to do so. The most important risk of not having a muffler is that there are laws regarding sound levels and a car without a muffler might be over government approved noise levels resulting in not being in compliance with the law and the end result being a fine. Another reason for not doing so is the impact it would have on your vehicle. A muffler on a car will increase its performance, efficiency and power output. It will also decrease the wear and tear on the engines’ parts.

What will happen if we act before we think?

If you act before you think, you're probably going to make a mistake. Thinking is what humans do better than any other animal, and it pays off. Thinking about what might happen if you do or say something ... before you do or say it! ... is the way to be sure you're doing and saying the right things.


How do you remove muffler on John Deere stx38?

I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to replace my front axle and I need to remove the muffler to get to the axle bolt. Please help. I recently replaced the front axle on my STX38 so I took off the muffler as well. The muffler's heat shield needs to come off first, I think there's just two bolts holding that in place on the front of it. If I remember correctly, there were 4 bolts total securing the muffler. There are two bolts towards the front of the muffler that connect vertically to the body of the mower, these need to be removed. If you look at the very top of the muffler where it connects to the engine you'll see another two bolts that need to be removed. I had a tough time getting these two completely out since mine were a bit rusted but they did eventually come off. Once all these bolts are removed, I had to wiggle the muffler out of the bottom of the mower. For the people doing front axle replacement - once the muffler is removed you should have access to the bolt securing the axle.


How do you replace muffler on a 2000 Subaru Outback?

There is no trick to this and no meaningful instruction. Mufflers on a 2000 Outback are essentially the same as every vehicle muffler made since they have been building cars. It is a tough job if you don't have right the tools and will to deal with parts that are rusted in place. Having done this job more than once my recommendation is to find a local muffler shop and have them do it. It won't cost much more than doing it yourself. Check on parts cost then call the muffler shop and see how they compare.
