It is quite clear to me from this video that if you want a muffler that lasts a long time, use a toothbrush. Once I saw that, I knew this guy was legit. I'm subscribing!
Spend 5 minutes explaining the complexities of sound waves bouncing inside the chamber and how it's important to keep them pressurized, then suggests to drill a few holes to drain the water, lol
+VanillaSnake21 Yep Its one or the other With OEM mufflers though I don't think you need to drill a hole, the material is much better quality than aftermarket
But I don't understand the point of the suggestion, you're saying compromise the muffler and make it less effective in reducing noise as well as create a exhaust leak for what? Just to make sure the muffler doesn't rust? But at that point it's a garbage muffler anyway.
No you don't understand. A trade off for what? A trade off to keep the muffler longer? But what's the difference between a rust making a hole in the muffler or you? When you make holes in it you might as well throw it out anyways.
An 1/8 hole in the muffler aint gonna do shit to the noise you bellend but it will drain all the collected condensation out. Many exhausts have them as standard so give up trying to be a smartass.
Good job. Got the ideas across. Not unnecessarily technical. Actually looking at a real muffler was better than a chalkboard diagram. I didn't notice the toothbrush.
Very clear, informative and concise....and I like the 'used-toothbrush pointer' too. Where can I get one? I bet it's 'branded'🤣🤣🤣. Indeed a garage classroom! Have since subscribed for the 'classes'. 🫡👍🙌
Nice explanation , I've heard from my mechanic that if u start a car's engine don't shut it down straight away as the water vapour will condensate in the cold muffler and resonator , let it run for few minutes until the pipes become hot then water won't condensate and this will prevent it from rusting
Rust needs oxygen to form. The point of car engine is to consume the oxygen from air to burn fuel and emit exhaust gases that don't contain oxygen anymore. So how could the rust form when there is no oxygen?
But if you drew holes on the bottom will make the waves also go through them and will make a strange noise with the water.Also the temperature in muffler should be over 100 C degrees so the water will drain only if you stop the engine,am I right ?
speedkar99 Once the bottom are drilled with holes, will it cause back pressure drop, noise coming out and other impact? How many holes and how is the size are we talking here? Thanks in advance for the advise.
+dalphinus I think he's talking about pretty small holes...like 1/16" 0r 3/32" which won't make any difference soundwise. Most factory mufflers have small drain holes in them brand new.
Hey drilling holes as you advice at the end to prevent rust and water accumulation wouldn't that equal to more noise ? as sound will exit through those holes instead of the chambers
4:53 I used your suggestion and drilled holes in the bottom of my muffler now it sounds like my car makes these wheezy fart noises when it's at idle and when I rev the engine it sounds like a kazoo. How many holes was I supposed to drill?
speedkar99 in order for a mechanic to diagnose and replace, wouldn't he or she know how it should work first??? Unless you're someone who reads 710 where the oil goes in. Lol
What's the best way to modify this original muffler to so it can have a better sound, what's parts needs to be remove? If any picture available please provide.
Reviewing this video again it would be really cool if you could fit like a Mitsubishi 3000GT muffler that has a little arm sticking out so you can force the little flap open with a Sport Button.
180%? I think he meant 180 degrees. (2:55) But still nice video. The sound without the muffles was so cool, I didn't know all i had to do is saw the muffler off. :D
If I create a gap between the flange and muffler will that cause an exhaust leak anything bad? /If I take my muffler off will anything bad happen to my exhaust/car?
Thanks a lot sir! Making a homemade muffler/baffle system on a motorbike. I've done this before but I keep forgetting the basics! Lessons that I keep learning again and again! Hey! Just like that song lyric from Two Kevins by the band Cigar. Anyway, thanks again! Peace.
Cool. Thanks. 3 inch exhaust systems common? I've got a stove I made from scrap metal and was thinking of using old exhaust pipe and maybe even muffler in it if I could find it. i've seen some different stove systems that have a similar concept as the muffler with baffles and such.
The exhaust pipe of my car is so low that it touch the ground when there are bumps on the road ,while driving. How can the pipe be raised above the ground? Pls suggest.
About the spring you referred to at 3:49. Isn't it going to slow down your piston as the gases don't flow freely, due to the lower pressure? Sorry for my english
Also, the pic with waves is misleading because it shows only one time instant. At other time instants the waves are shifted (remember - they are waves, they travel - surprise surprise) and the calcellation doesn't work except those zero points. It even makes the sound stronger in the points in between the zeros.

Surprising amount of engineering in what appears to be a simple component. This channel was a great find. Keep it up.
+Dylan Lewis Agreed, I didn't know myself there was so much to a muffler, especially the reverse flow design.
Very interesting, and informative work, speedkar 99.

Great video. Hats off to the guy who volunteered his toothbrush for the pointer
Did not know there was that much engineering that went into a mufflers’ sound-cancelling calculations. Super cool. 🇨🇦👍🏼
When they do these kinds of calculations, they're targeting one specific RPM, and probably 2nd order harmonics.
usually, in this kind of videos I'm not expecting much physics and formulas! excellent job

@@charlieangkor8649 do you leave your engine running 24 hours a day 365 days a year? if not, there is oxygen and water in your exhaust system
@@charlieangkor8649 Yeah, how could an exhaust pipe get rust on it? Obviously, exhaust pipes never get rust on them.

Good point. And yes the idea would be to drain the water at standstill so it doesn't sit inside the muffler overnight.

How many holes and how is the size are we talking here?

If you drill holes in the muffler, you obstruct some of the design pressure for the muffler to work properly.
Don't drill holes in mufflers.
Agreed.
Drill holes in the muffler and put maybe screws or rivets of some sort if you so dare to..

Mine rattles when I hit it from the bottom and when I shake it side to side. Sounds like a small metal bits are loose inside.
Yes
The Corolla sounds awesome!
What will happen, if the outlet of muffler is connected with the other muffler inlet,
ie continuously 2 or 3 muffler..
Alot of restrictions
Good video. I appreciate that you explain the physics of it. How about explaining a resonator as well?
+Tripp M Thanks. I thought about cutting that but it isn't worth an entire video.

Drilling holes at the bottom of mufflers are ok?
Not really
What you can do to drain condensation *and also bypass the entire pressurized system* is drill holes.
Yep. Counterintuitive
Great video, but I don’t understand why one would drill holes in an exhaust
Lol
I was going to ask you if you thought drilling a small hole to allow water out is a good idea. Then you said it. Cool!
Yeah but then you'll have an exhaust leak.
Interesting piece of calculated engineering. Can you imagine some people prefer their car with louder noises just to make them looks cool?
My brother is one of them
Also, the pic with waves is misleading because it shows only one time instant. At other time instants the waves are shifted (remember - they are waves, they travel - surprise surprise) and the calcellation doesn't work except those zero points. It even makes the sound stronger in the points in between the zeros.
I think the drilling of holes in the bottom might destroy all of that carefully engineered noise cancelling!
