Mufflers and Tailpipes
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.

The unit of measurment is FSN (Filter Smoke Number) or paper blackening (PB)or soot concentration(mg/m3).
What can cause white smoke from exhaust on intrigue?
White smoke is normally just steam from condensation. however, it can also be a bad catalytic converter from burning oil. It is also caused by burning anti-freeze, which indicates a blown head gasket.
What would cause sparks and flames to come out of the tailpipe of your car?
The engine is getting more fuel than your ingnition system can light causing raw fuel to be dumped into the exhaust.I would suggest you have a mechanic check for fuel injectors staying open,if that is not the problem have an analysis done on your ignition system to check primarily your spark.Make sure you get your vehicle checked as soon as possible,this is extremly dangerous.

What will a Flow master exhaust do for mileage?
Exhaust that are aftermarketed help your car bretha better because the are bigger and have less curving so this will allow the car possibly 1-2 mpg better on a tank if car is runnung properly.
It could DEFINITELY cause it, I am not saying that you can not modify your engine, Just keep in mind that an engine is an air pump, and The piston comes up to top dead center, (NOTICE THE USE OF THE WORD,DEAD) when the piston is down it has about as much volume as A drinking glass in the cylinder, When it is up, it has about as much as you would have in your mouth, NOT CAN HOLD, WOULD HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN DRINKING WATER,The TURBO CHARGER compresses the air BEFORE the engine gets it, So what would normally be equal to A GLASS of FUEL/AIR MIXTURE, Is now equal to A 2 liter bottle, When you "ADJUST" the pop off, Or really tighten it up, You do not let the EXCESS air escape before it hurts your engine, You definitely need to "READJUST" the pop off, at least A littly, KEEP IN MIND, you may have already broken rings, or piston, or bent rods, or blown headgasket, For your sake I hope not,REALLY GOOD LUCK, Jamison
Why do flames come out my exhaust when it is idling?
Flames will come from the exhaust when raw gas enters the exhaust then ignites. run computer codes for the engine to look for a problem causing the gas to not burn completely.

What does it mean when black smoke comes out the exhaust and the car starts going about 30 MPH?
sounds like it could be your oxygen sensor. If it was me I'd replace it. If you smell a strong odor of gas, it could be your MAP sensor. You might also have a bad pickup in the distributor. Good luck.
Because being cool is popular. And to be cool, you must smoke, because smoking is cool. Some people think smoking is "cool" and they want to fit in even though smoking is complelety unhealthy and makes the breath stink. In some parts of the world smoking is declining in popularity eg in Britain it was banned in public buildings and statistics show people have cut down.
This would be the exiting of the tailpipes area,ie:behind the rear axle.
White smoke is an indicator you have a head gasket leak. The white smoke is actually water or coolant mixing into the combustion chamber with the fuel and air. Have you noticed a bit of a rough idle? Have you looked at your coolant level lately?

* Black smoke comes from partially burned fuel. This indicates that the air filter or fuel system needs to be serviced.
* Blue smoke indicates burning oil is a bad sign. Clouds of blue smoke on start-up may indicate worn valve-guide seals, valves, or piston rings, the latter of which can mean a cylinder-head or engine rebuild is needed.
* Billowy white smoke may indicate that coolant is getting into the engine. Another bad sign. This can be a result of a blown head gasket, damaged cylinder head, or even a cracked block. All are expensive repairs.

What is the purpose of a exhaust silencer?
To silence the exhaust. Noisy cars disturb the peace and if loud enough your car won't pass inspection and cops will find a liking to you.
There is water and a little white smoke coming out of tailpipe is this a blown head gasket?
Yep. Don't run it this way. This means that water is also in the oil and will ruin the engine. I found out the hard way.
Heres how i eventually did it ... 1. Using needle nose locking pliers i held the pipe to the muffler so that it wouldnt get knocked back into the muffler. 2. Then using a cold chisel i made a gap between the muffler (the part that houses the pipe) and the pipe. I did this so that the pipe could be cut through without also cutting the muffler. 3. Then using a power saw with a metal cutting blade i cut through the tailpipe. 4. Then I was the able to crimp the edges of the pipe up and pull it out. 5. Have a beer for a job well done !!!
