Mufflers and tailpipes are components of an exhaust system. The tailpipes guide the exhaust away from the engine and into the muffler. The muffler reduces the noise coming from the engine through the tailpipe.

Why does your car have no heat and white smoke coming out of your muffler?
You have a blown head gasket. Go to a parts store and get a radiator stop leak that has copper in it. It is called Liquid Glass and there are several suppliers of it. I have used this in many cars over the years and have had very good success with it. It is about $6. Follow the instructions and let it dry overnight.
How can i Remove the muffler baffles in a 1996 virago?
All you have to do is drill the rivets that you see holding the beauty plate in the ends of the muffler. After you do this the beauty plate will come off and reveal another plate. Then the tricky part. You will see the diameter of the inner baffle, you need to find to hole saws. 1 for the inner tube outside diameter and 1 for the inside diameter of the exhaust to cut out after drilling the inner exhaust one out. Then you can look in and notice the baffle being held in place in three spot wher it is welded to the inside diameter of the pipe. You can use a long saw saw blade or something to cut at it or as I have heard other ppl say they just grabbed it with some vise grips and wiggled and tugged on it till it broke free , either way gives you the same result"NO BAFFLE" You will probably like the sound better than factory but Keep in mind you virago will never sound like a Harley even with a nice set of Aftermarket slip ons. I know I have a XV1000 and have done the baffle removal and aftermarkets. Though they do sound good.
Why does your car burn black smoke?
If the exhaust gasses from your car is black, the mixture between air ang fuel is probably too rich. That means your car is blowing in too much gasoline / diesel compared to the ammount of air. This is not necessarily the problem, but a very likely cause. Other colours of your exhaust will also tell you that something is wrong. White smoke means water in the combustion (either from water in the fuel, or water leaking into the cylinder from the cooling system), and blue smoke means oil in the combustion. A reason for getting a too rich mixture of fuel and air is the carburettor not functioning properly.

What would cause a 2003 Ford Taurus SES to make a chirping noise?
I would guess you have a bad or loose drive or serpentine belt or your disc brake warning device is telling you that your brake pads are worn out. New Post---Pincheweenie: To piggyback on that....... : NO guessing required here....I have a 03' SES that is chirping and I have replaced the serpentine belt twice, one of the pullies that was wobbling around in there and the tensioner. The noise is gone but we will see if comes back. Oh, each of those parts were replaced 2-3 days apart. Each time the noise went away (without WD-40)upon leaving the shop and driving for a day or so. : The next step is to check the moving parts that each element turns the belt with. In case your wondering, it cost about 350 bucks for all that. Not to bad considering.

What would cause a car to blow blue smoke?
A car blows blue smoke usually when it is burning oil most of the time it is a burnt valve. Which requires pulling the head and machining it followed by reseeding the valve.
= blue smoke is caused by oil burning more likely to be worn out valve stem seals than a burnt valve if valve is burnt, you will get backfiring in engine seals just allow oil to run down valve stems into combustion chamber a good mechanic will have a special tool to hold valves in posotion with out removing the heads a lot less costly than removing heads
--As I understand it, the blue color is not from burning oil, but from oil failing to burn. The oil forms tiny droplets that make the smoke blue just as the sky or sea. In any case, your main suspects will be valve guide seals, piston rings, and turbocharger.
