That racket made by the thousands of explosions taking place in the cylinders every minute is ideally reduced to a mild purring sound when filtered through the Chevy Suburban Muffler. Have you ever stopped to think about how this little marvel works, however? It's surprising how simple this device is. In understanding the works of your vehicle's muffler, it helps to know more about the nature of sound.

Basically, sound is nothing more than a series of high and low pressure waves. Think about the last rock concert you attended, or those inconsiderate kids who insist on playing their car radios at full volume. Notice how you actually "feel" the pulse of the bass long before you actually hear it? Now, because sound moves much faster than the exhaust gases in your vehicle, these waves tend to stack up against each other.

The Chevy Suburban Muffler uses a resonator and a chamber with perforated holes to capture these sound waves and bounce them back against each other - effectively causing them to cancel each other out. Because your muffler is attached to the bottom of your car, it is subject to the harshest conditions - moisture, dirt, road salts, rocks - you name it. As your muffler ages and begins to deteriorate, rust starts to eat through the muffler walls, which allow the sound waves to escape - creating a full decibel noise that sounds like the Devil's personal lawn mower. Your best course of action is to inspect these components periodically.
