Types - Rear Silencer

Rear Silencer

The rear silencer is similar to the front silencer but is of different internal construction. This difference produces the final exhaust note and reduces the noise level even further.

Because of the rear silencer's positions, the exhaust gas is much cooler in this part of the exhaust system (up to 350°C.). As a result, the rear silencer is subject to extremely high corrosion due to an increased rate of exhaust gas condensation and a lower rate of evaporation.

If the vehicle is continually driven over short distances or in stop-and-go conditions, the rate of corrosion will accelerate as the exhaust system is unable to reach condensation evaporation temperature. This is a key factor in premature corrosion-induced failure.
