Does my Mercedes-Benz need a new muffler?

One obvious sign that your vehicle’s exhaust system isn’t working as it should is a deep or loud rumbling sound coming from your car. When this happens, it’s time to make a service appointment. It might be tempting to simply turn up the volume to drown out the noise and pretend it doesn’t exist, but putting off this kind of repair might make it even worse. The earlier you get your vehicle checked out, the better.
Another sign to watch out for is a new vibration or loss of power when operating your car. This vibration might present itself when you touch the steering wheel, foot pedals or car seat. You might also hear a rumbling sound. This is a sign that there could be an exhaust leak or disconnected exhaust system component and it should be checked as soon as possible.
