Plastic Muffler, underbody panels possible!

Plastic Muffler

Benefits:

* Cost Savings
* Lower CO2 Emissions
* Package Optimization
* Noise Emission Attenuation
* Increased Fuel Economy
* Elimination of Heat Shields
* Reduced weight
* Reduced restriction
* Plastic design allows more possible shapes & sizes
* Different vehicles can use a common design
* No heat shields required
* Fewer exhaust hangers required (doable in plastic)
* Due it’s cool outside surface, underbody panels possible
* Added value through lower overall system costs


Will we be seeing theses in the near future?
