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 is white smoke coming out of the car's exhaust?
First, check your engine oil level- if the level reduces at agiven time-problem is that you have a loose compression. The white smoke is the product of combustion of air, gasoline, and engine oil due to the excessive wear on the engine's piston rings.
Second, to confirm if you have a loose compression, go to your mechanic and ask for a compression test.

How much does it cost replace an exhaust system on a 98 dodge ram 1500?
From the muffler back (aka CAT-BACK), kits can be purchased for as little as $130 (non-performance parts). Including the CAT (catalytic converter), you're looking at closer to $250. That's just for parts (and if you order from an online store like www.quadratec.com or www.4wd.com [jeep specific stores] figure $40 additional for shipping)and for you to provide labor. If you have a mechanic do it, I'd estimate no more than 2 hours (and that's generous)of labor at whatever the current rate is (a call to a local garage will tell you hourly labor rate). Hope this helps. I just replaced the exhaust on my 98 wrangler, cost $175.00 for parts, found free shipping, and took me 1hr 30 min to do it myself. I am learning as I do it, so I am no expert.

How do you fix a broken exhaust manifold stud in an aluminum head?
DON'T USE AN EASYOUT
they're extremely hard which also makes them brittle. The last several times I attempted to use one they cracked or shattered, leaving behind extremely hard pieces of metal that couldn't be drilled out.
If theres anything left sticking out you could try vise grips, or welding a nut to it. Heat and penetrating oil often helps. If theres nothing left, try reverse drills, make sure theyre centered and straight.

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.
