Saying Goodbye to Disturbing Exhaust Sounds Through the Mazda Muffler
By : Logan Taft
Mazda owners will surely love to drive their Mazda if it runs smoothly and quietly on the road, rid of the disturbances caused by unwanted road bumps as well as noise. While irregularities such as road bumps are controlled by the suspension, the disturbing noise is handled by a specific exhaust component - the muffler. There are different varieties of mufflers in the market today, designed for different auto makes and models. One of these is the Mazda Muffler that is specifically crafted for Mazda models. At a glance, drivers may not be able to see the muffler whose function is to reduce the sound of the engine and maintain it in a low frequency. This is because the muffler is found underneath the vehicle positioned along the exhaust pipes. The muffler is a vital component of the exhaust system and is welded in between the tail pipe and the catalytic converter. Many consider it as an anti-pollution device. In the context of sound, yes, it is an anti-pollution component. Excessive sound is now also considered as a form of pollution - noise pollution. A very loud noise is a typical source of irritation and discomfort in every drive.
The Mazda Muffler that is mounted in the exhaust system is responsible for the reduction of the sound produced by the engine valves. The valves are the components that direct the flow of gases throughout the engine's system. The intake valves allow the atomized fuel to get into the combustion chambers while the exhaust valves allow for the escape of burned gases and other combustion by-products towards the exhaust manifold. As the valves move up and down in the cylinder head, there will be friction that results from the creation of sound. Every combustion chamber has a set of valves above it and the bigger the engine, the more valves are installed. Bigger engines produce greater volume of sound. To effectively reduce sound, the installation of not only one but two mufflers is resorted to. Exhaust gases are released to the atmosphere at a faster rate.
How does the Mazda Muffler reduce the sound of the Mazda engine? The muffler is a kind of backbox that is mainly designed to receive the pressure waves of the sound and bounce them inside the cylinders and chamber known as the resonator and the tailpipes. As the sound waves collide with one another in the chamber, the waves of equal and opposite amplitude will try to cancel each other out. The interference in the sound waves inside the muffler reduces the volume of the noise. In as much as the muffler is seldom seen, it is usually prone to negligence. Its failure is sometimes noticed only when the vehicle undergoes smog test as a requisite for re-registration. When vehicles fail the test, this is among the indications that it is already time to replace the muffler. It is important that the muffler be regularly checked to ensure that it is always in good working order and capable of performing its function. It is also important that drivers look for symptoms of damage to easily identify failure.
