Is there something wrong with your car muffler' you got these noisy annoying squeaks?

If your car knocks, grinds, squeaks and makes other unholy noises, it may have a bad muffler. A muffler is basically a series of tubes and chambers located under the car at its back end. Mufflers quiet the noise made by the engine and reduce noxious emissions. If your car's muffler isn't working, you're polluting the atmosphere with fumes and unpleasant noise every time you go for a drive.

Do glass pack mufflers pass emissions?

The muffler doesn't have much to do with emissions. Some jurisdictions prohibit glass packs for noise reasons, but the exhaust going into the muffler is pretty much chemically identical to that going out. If a vehicle doesn't pass the emissions test with a glass pack muffler, it almost certainly wouldn't have passed with any other type of muffler either.

I paid a total of 580 Canadian dollars. They had to do some complicated cutting and installing when attaching the muffler.

An awful expense when it comes to older cars.


What role do auto mufflers play in passing an emissions test?

They keep the exhast fumes to a minimal, thus reducing the amount of pollution that is let into the air. Without a muffler there would be double the smog that is already hampening many cities worldwide, that is why it is required as an emissions test. If you don't have a good muffler you will not pass the emissions test. It's job is to both filter out the worst pollution and baffle the noise your car makes.
