Whats the difference between a muffler and exhaust in a car?

Answer #1

The muffler is part of the exhaust system. The exhaust system consists of the muffler, catalystic converter and the tail pipes.

Answer #2

It’s all in the words. A muffler “muffles” the sound of the exhaust to a lower noise level and the exhaust in general “exhausts” or directs the fumes outward.
