    This episode has everything you need to know about the exhaust muffler, or in British English, the silencer. We cover what it does, why it's needed, and then chop a muffler up and see what's inside. I also talk about exhaust back pressure and the differences between turbo muffler, absorption or straight-through mufflers, and finally we look at chambered designs.

      I thought the turbo muffler is just a mod to the standard baffled muffler designed to improve airflow and (completely by accident) and to not cut the sound of turbine so much. Guess I was wrong.

      @@howacarworks There's a lot of things people sell as "turbo" mufflers, but it'd seem like that phrase is used more for non chambered fiberglass packed straight through or multi pass mufflers. You kept calling the chambered muffler a turbo muffler and it was kinda confusing. To me the resonator you have is more of a "turbo muffler" than that thing.

    I think your videos are absolutely spot on and agree that these should set the standard for the next 10 years. I was very close to buying the full series but unfortunately I’m not convinced I’ll pick up anything highly beneficial for an intermediate DIY mechanic. I would definitely be bought in however if there were videos covering diagnostics (e.g. PWM, fuel trims, ignition timing, voltage drop testing, CAN bus/MOST/LIN networks, control module anaysis, etc.) and not so much focus on how things work. Certainly knowing this helps one infer how to fix things diagnostically but it’s not the complete picture. For beginners however I think the video course would be useful. I hope you add some advanced courses soon!!
