Test Shows That the MuIlicE OuNouA
Does Not Enable Engine to Pull
ANY Better.
In general it may be said that there
is a slight difference in power In IA
vor of the engine running without a
muffler. This is true because the muf-
fler generally adds to the back pres
sure and hence cuts down the output or
the engine. when running with
clean muffler, however, and one which
has been properly designed for the
car, there is so little difference that #
can never be noticed by the person
driving the car. In fact it has been
shown that at some speeds there was
more power delivered when the cutout
was closed than when il was open.
This Is exemplified in a test made by
an automobile factory some time ago,
in which it was shown that a clean
muffler which was the proper capacity
for the car would not decrease the
power output of the motor. At the low
est motor speeds there was a greater
output with a muffler than without.
