Install a Muffler on a Machine
Road-worthy vehicles must finance a working exhaust course which includes a muffler for sound diffusion. Cars keep mufflers and piping installed at the manufacturer that suppresses most sounds and many impurities that might be produced outside the tailpipe. The feelings of a buttoned up, emission-free exhaust course is the muffler. Over bit, a muffler will charge to be replaced with an latest replacement or upgraded to a high-quality performance muffler, which helps an engine fabricate else horsepower.
Instructions
1. Elevate the vehivle using a motorcar lift to a heighth that allows for a technician to drudge under the machine easily. Once lifted, the muffler(s) Testament be visible near the rear of the machine. The exorbitant, oblong-shaped container within the piping process is the muffler. A muffler may be welded into the exhaust step or it may be secured with drainpipe straps or U-Bolts. Generate a aim on the exhaust tube 3 inches from Everyone boundary of the muffler. Degree the distance between the markings To gauge the condign length to chop absent for becoming the virgin muffler.
2. Remove the antiquated muffler by cutting it elsewhere of the exhaust system using the Saws-All with a metal cutting blade attached. Accomplish the cuts vertical to the floor. By making a square cut up and down, the new muffler will fit tightly within the new muffler pipe ends and can be secured tightly with the exhaust pipe straps.
3. Dismantle the remaining tailpipe portion of exhaust tubing from the exhaust system hanger, and open to the side. By removing the very end of the exhaust tubing, you can install one side of the muffler onto the existing exhaust system and then insert the tailpipe end to finish the job.
5. Insert the tailpipe end of the exhaust tubing into the open outlet of the muffler and re-insert the exhaust hanger hook into the exhaust hanger. With the muffler tubing straps already around the outlet opening, tighten the strap in the same way as the first until it is securely tightened around the existing tailpipe exhaust tubing. With the old exhaust hanger reconnected, the new muffler is properly installed into an existing car exhaust and muffler system.
4. Slide one end of the new muffler over the existing exhaust tubing with the muffler straps sitting around the expanded end of the muffler inlet tube. Once the existing pipe is seated against the new muffler tubing inlet, begin to tighten the muffler pipe strap to secure the opening around the existing tubing. It is important to preserve the same torque on the muffler strap nuts, and an even tightening will insure a leak-free connection.
