What you need to know:
- Silencers are responsible for reducing noise emissions and are intended to influence the engine’s exhaust gas flow in a manner that optimizes the maintenance of engine performance.
- Indications that a silencer is malfunctioning include a significant increase in engine noise, rattling noises due to worn rubber hangers, rusting and a build-up of soot.
- A damaged silencer can result in harmful combustion gases being emitted beneath the car. When the doors are opened, these exhaust gases can then enter the passenger compartment.
- Increased noise levels resulting from a malfunctioning silencer can cause stress to vehicle occupants and a loss of concentration. This can also prevent the sounds of potential traffic hazards from being heard.
- Without any soundproofing, an engine’s combustion stroke would be as loud as the sound of bursting tires, with unbearable noise levels far exceeding 100 dB/A.
Opt for the Genuine Part because:
- High level of safety due to gas tightness.
- High level of comfort resulting from sound insulation performance far better than the EU’s legally required level of 74 dB/A and harmonic matching to the engine characteristics.
- The attractive design of the rear silencers for certain vehicle models lends them recognition value.
- High-grade stainless steel a condensation reduction design feature increase their resistance to corrosion due to exterior (e.g. stone chips, salt) and interior (e.g. condensation) factors, and ensure very long service life.
- They optimally support engine performance by controlling back pressure, and by reducing Fuel consumption of the due to their light weight.
