muffler fell off can i still drive
My car's muffler just fell off. Can I still drive my car without any problems?
While it may still be possible to operate a car with a fallen-off muffler, it is neither advisable nor safe. The muffler plays a significant role in reducing the noise produced by exhaust gases and channelling them safely out of the vehicle.
So you're saying it may not be dangerous to the car but potentially to the people inside?
Exactly. With the muffler not functioning, the exhaust gases might not exit the vehicle properly. This could lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide inside the car, which is harmful and potentially fatal. So it's vital to fix the issue immediately for safety reasons.
Okay, I understand. Is it expensive to replace a muffler?
The cost of replacing a muffler can vary widely, generally ranging from $75 to $750, based on the type of car you have, the type of muffler you choose, and labor costs. It's best to consult multiple repair shops to get a decent price estimate.
