The patent for an Exhaust muffler for engines was awarded to Milton O. Reeves and Marshall T. Reeves of Columbus, Indiana of the Reeves Pulley Company on 11 May 1897.
That's all I was able to find, so you can assume it was first made in late 1896 or early 1897.

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.
Do you need a new muffler'How can you tell if you need a new muffler?
Even if you can't repair a faulty muffler yourself you can determine if the muffler is actually the problem. One of the first signs of a failing muffler is a change in the sound of your car when it starts and while it is running. The car will sound louder but you might not notice at first. If the muffler is not repaired the sound will definitely get louder and louder. In most towns sound pollution is an offense for which you will be written a ticket. That's only one reason to make sure your muffler gets fixed, and soon.
Would a hole in my muffler cause your engine light come on?
Not likely. But you know you have a hole in your muffler so unless you want to have an accident from carbon monoxide poisoning you should have it replaced ASAP. Then reset the light and if it does not come back on, you know that was the cause.
What is the part to hold the muffler in place 99 cavalier and it's missing this part?
This can be the muffler hanger, a rubber hanger to suspend the muffler or a muffler clamp to tie the muffler in place. I don't have alot of money and when I first got my 96 my muffler was hanging a few inches from the ground. All you have to do is get metal with holes in it......lift the car...put a cinder block or something under the muffler... and drop the car just enough to put it in place (Use a large jack that you have a handle on...and do it carefully...practice even so you don't screw your car up). Then find a place in the floor panels where the screw won't come through and use the right size screw with a screw gun. You may have to pre-drill the hole.
When was the automobile muffler invented?

Can you put the catalytic converter before the muffler?
