How are chambered mufflers used in a catalytic converter?
Essentially, chambered mufflers use sound-canceling technology to reduce noise while producing a desired sound level and exhaust note tone, with varying designs that appeal to stock replacement or high-performance sound attributes. Chambered mufflers feature internal chambers, or rooms, where the exhaust flow is diverted.
Where is the converter in the exhaust system?
The converter, mounted between the exhaust manifold and the muffler, uses a combination of heat and metals that act as catalysts. A catalyst is a metal, or sometimes a chemical, that causes other chemicals to go through a reaction without being affected itself.
Is it necessary for the muffler in a car to be after?
Yes it is necessary for the Muffler to be after the catalytic converter in a car’s exhaust system.
How do you connect the exhaust pipe to the muffler?
Slide the exhaust pipes together. Slide the pipe from the muffler over the existing exhaust pipe. The muffler should rest directly below the rubber eyelets its mounted to, so the eyelet should hang straight up and down when the pipes are joined properly.

How many mufflers are in a dual exhaust system?
A true dual exhaust system has two oxygen sensors, two catalytic converters, and two mufflers (or one muffler with two intakes). Exhaust tips do not offer the engine performance benefits of true dual exhaust, since they have no effect on exhaust system workload and resources.
How is the exhaust pipe connected to the muffler?
If your engine has multiple cylinder banks (typical with six or more cylinders) and you have single exhaust, a “Y” pipe connects both cylinder manifolds to a shared exhaust pipe. From there, exhaust passes through one oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, and muffler.
