There comes a time in everyone’s life, when they are graced with the unfortunate event of needing to replace their muffler. The issue is that when cars begin to break down, many people do not know the warning signs and they just assume that everything is alright, or maybe there is just a rock that got jammed up in something. However, if you have having issues with your muffler, the key thing to remember is that your car will literally tell you something is wrong with it.

There are three types of sounds to listen for which could mean something is wrong with your vehicles muffler:

– Booming

– Hissing

– Rattling

If any of these sounds are coming from your car, it can mean a few things regarding your muffler. It is possible that your muffler has holes in it, and if this the case, then you should just visit an auto-repair shop and have them put in a new one. These noises could also mean your muffler is clogged, which also needs replacing, unclogging a muffler is not something anyone should attempt to do because it is unsafe and can cause more issues.

These noises are not some special effect of your custom sound system, but it could be a legitimate health hazard. Clogged mufflers have been the cause of death in many mudding accidents because it does not allow the vehicle to properly expel the carbon monoxide. So, if your car is making strange noises that you know it should not be making, take it in to get it checked out by the professionals.
