Muffler and Exhaust Service Near You in Bristol, CT

A loud muffler and a dragging tailpipe may be classic comedy gold, but a damaged exhaust system is no joke. Broken or leaky exhaust parts can compromise your vehicle’s engine performance, increase emissions, and even let toxic gasses into your cabin, undetected.

Midas services all parts of your vehicle’s exhaust system:

• Exhaust valve and piston: Engine parts that force exhaust fumes out from the combustion chamber (where they are created) to the exhaust manifold.

• Exhaust manifold: The path from the piston to the catalytic converter. In or near this area, there will be one or more oxygen sensors.

• Catalytic converter: Converts some toxins to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water for cleaner emissions -- though the exhaust is still poisonous in confined spaces (and CO2 is a greenhouse gas). More oxygen sensors may be located after the catalytic converter to help monitor its performance.

• Exhaust pipe: Carries the cleaner exhaust gasses to the muffler.

• Muffler: Reduces the noise of combustion and expulsion of exhaust.

• Tailpipe: Where exhaust leaves your vehicle.
