Front silencer for your car

BUY AND REPAIR THE RIGHT FRONT SILENCER AT Q-PARTS24

If the front silencer is defective, it should be replaced. The front silencer is loosened and removed from the pipes on both sides using an exhaust tool. If the screws are rusted, a little rust remover will help in most cases. Now the new front silencer including new exhaust gaskets can be installed in the exhaust system. In most cases, a muffler repair with a welded sheet metal is not effective, since this defect only becomes noticeable when the damage is already well advanced. The decision to buy a new front silencer is always the more sustainable solution for your exhaust system and car.

FUNCTIONS AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HEAD SILENCER

The front silencer is one of two to three silencers in a modern exhaust system. It is the muffler closest to the engine. The front silencer is located under the underbody of the vehicle, approximately at the height of the driver's footwell. It is connected to the catalytic converter on one side by a flexible pipe, and from the other side a pipe runs under the vehicle floor to the rear of the car, with the exhaust gases passing through additional dampers. The use of these spare parts is differentiated in a reflection and absorption process. In the reflection process, the exhaust gases are passed through several chambers, where they lose their power due to the reflection on the walls. In the case of absorption, there is material such as glass wool in the replacement part, which absorbs the sound and thus reduces it.

HOW TO IDENTIFY FRONT SILENCER DEFECTS AND WEAR

If a front silencer is defective, the sound pattern changes considerably, as with any other silencer. The result is an audible rattling and an increase in noise pollution. The cause is rusted through or dented areas on the casing of the front silencer. A close visual inspection, which works best with the exhaust system on a hoist or over a pit, provides clarity. In addition to the front silencer, the rear silencer and any middle silencer must also be checked. These components are subjected to the same stresses, and a defect can indicate that another spare part will soon be rusted through.
