What is the corrugation of the silencer and what are its features?

The muffler of the silencer is an integral part of the exhaust system of every modern car. By design, it is a kind of elastic element in the form of a tube. It connects all the metal parts of this design. This spare part is very important for the machine, as it reduces all the vibrations of the engine that occurred during operation, thereby removing the load level for the remaining elements of the car and the body.

The silencer muffler can be installed not only on new petrol, but also on diesel cars, as well as on vehicles with a mileage of more than 100 thousand kilometers. This detail is especially popular among fans of tuning. And although it does not affect the overall aesthetics of the machine, it perfectly protects it from overheating and additional vibrations.

How to choose a part?

Any high-quality corrugation muffler in the first place should have an optimal combination of strength and elasticity. In addition, the spare part should, as long as possible, retain the above properties when the exhaust system is heated. Among bona fide manufacturers, I especially want to mention the German company Hydra (HYDRA). It is the world's leading manufacturer of corrugations for silencers. In support of this - serial shipments to assembly lines "BMW", "Mercedes", "Audi", "Volkswagen" and "Fiat".

Is this part repairable or repaired?

Unfortunately no. The fact is that the muffler of a silencer has a very complicated winding in its design. In fact, it is disposable. And if the winding breaks down, you need to change the whole part. The spare part is so fragile that you can damage it with one stone. On the production cars are installed more high-quality parts, made of high-alloy stainless steel. This element allows you to get the best quality and durable construction of the corrugation. However, it remains vulnerable to mechanical damage.

What can damage the spare part?

It is worth noting that the premature failure of the parts can happen not only because of the pebbles flying out from under the wheels. The clogged catalyst also adversely affects the durability of the structure. In this situation, the exhaust gases begin to accumulate in one place, creating a critical pressure inside the system. When this value reaches the peak, the muff of the muffler simply breaks.

Mounting the part

The silencer muff is installed in the service center using special welding equipment and tools. Moreover, if the installation of the part is not carried out in accordance with a certain temperature regime, this can significantly reduce its service life. Therefore, only professional professionals need to be trusted. Only in this way you will be assured that everything is done qualitatively, and the part will last long and reliably.

Cost

From 10 to 20 US dollars - this is how much the muff of the muffler stands on average. The dimensions of this part directly affect the cost, hence this wide range of prices. Widely popular goods with dimensions 40/260 mm, 70/250 mm and 110/480 mm.
