Qt-39 Mini Stock Muffler, 1959-1972
01
Artifact Overview
Internal combustion engines produce exhaust gases that must be vented from the engine. Gases generally are routed from the engine through a manifold or header, and then through an exhaust pipe to the car's rear. Before they exit the pipe, the gases move through a muffler with baffles or plates that reduce -- or muffle -- the noise.
