Which Muffler is Right for You?

Do you need valve mufflers or high-flow mufflers? Will chambered performance mufflers suit your vehicle best?

Your muffler choice will influence your car’s performance and how others perceive it.

Here is your guide to determining the best possible muffler for your next project.

Key Considerations When Choosing Your Muffler

Building a performance exhaust system requires due care and attention to your muffler. You must make the right decision to avoid being disappointed.

So, what should you consider when choosing your muffler?

What Matters to You?

Think about what you want from your muffler.

If you wish to ramp up the volume of your vehicle or add some extra horsepower to it, your choice of muffler matters. Different mufflers perform better for accomplishing different objectives.

Read up on the benefits of various muffler types, including whether you could benefit from purchasing a combination muffler.

The Muffler for Your Budget

Figure out your budget. Not everyone has the money to splurge on the best muffler available, especially if paying for a wholesale revamp of a car’s exhaust system.
Performance mufflers can cost as little as $75 or as much as $300. Thankfully, Haze Performance offers different muffler types at various price points. We offer low-cost, mid-range, and high-end options to suit your vehicle.

Make Your Muffler Fit Just Right

Muffler compatibility is a big issue. Only some mufflers are universal, meaning they may not fit your vehicle.

All vehicles come with either single or dual exhaust systems, alongside varying numbers of inlets and outlets. Exhaust pipe diameters must also be accounted for when determining which muffler matches your vehicle.

Consult your owner’s manual to figure out which muffler your vehicle model is designed to take.

Remember, if you opt for a universal muffler, be prepared to make some minor modifications to fit it into your vehicle. This work requires great precision, so you may want to consult with a professional mechanic.

Beware of State Laws

All 50 states make removing your muffler from a vehicle without replacing it illegal.

Every state can set rules on how loud a car can be before it violates the rules of the road. Look up your state’s laws on vehicular volume.

To increase your vehicle’s volume, ensure your muffler type complies to avoid getting a ticket.

Material Concerns

Your muffler undergoes tremendous stress as it eats up the miles. High temperatures and external conditions stress the muffler and your entire exhaust system.
Choosing the materials that meet the task is critical to getting more from your muffler.

Many people choose aluminum because it’s lighter and cheaper, but at Haze Performance, we believe in the power of stainless steel. Aluminum is prone to corrosion, making it a poor choice, especially in wetter parts of the country.
Stainless steel muffler and exhaust systems are resistant to both corrosion and rust. This material is easy to clean and will stand the test of time.
Make durability a priority for your next purchase with a stainless steel muffler today.

Make Music with Your Muffler

Enhance your vehicle’s sound with the design and construction of your exhaust. Every type of muffler will deliver a different sound.

Choose a straight-through model if you need a louder tone to make your car roar. The glass-packed muffler is one of the most popular choices for drivers looking to increase the volume.

For a touch of luxury, opt for a chambered or turbo design.
