The best foreign muffler manufacturers

Foreign companies participating in the rating are recognized leaders in the production of silencers and occupy the best positions in the international market. Their products are of high quality, no defects and a longer service life.

5 POLMOSTRO

The Polish company POLVOSTRO presents more than 6,000 items of spare parts for exhaust systems of various car brands. The popularity of the brand in Europe and Russia is justified by a democratic price, while mufflers and other parts are in no way inferior in quality to more expensive and eminent counterparts. All products are TUV / ISO certified and are suitable for most foreign cars, as well as domestic models, including VAZ.

Mufflers are made using regular steel, aluminum and stainless steel (double seaming method is used), due to which they have good anti-corrosion properties and can last more than six years. Judging by the feedback from the owners who decided to put POLVOSTRO on their cars, they are completely satisfied with the result and are firmly convinced that they paid the fairest price.

4 ARVIN Meritor

One of the largest suppliers of exhaust systems to the European (including Russian) market. The company has been dealing with these components for more than 100 years and has three research centers.It was thanks to its own developments that the company was able not only to withstand the competition, but also systematically expand production - the range of mufflers produced corresponds to almost all European car models (about 97%). Not surprisingly, sales of exhaust systems from this manufacturer occupy a leading position in the market.

In Russia, ARVIN Meritor products are in consistently high demand due to the fact that they are made from high quality raw materials. The alloy of steel and aluminum is more resistant to corrosion, which reduces the degree of influence of an aggressive environment and ensures a long service life (the owners confirm this fact in their reviews). Silencers are used for original assembly on the factory conveyors of Renault, Peugeot, MB, GM and other car brands. Exhaust systems of this brand can also be installed on a number of domestic VAZ models.

3 ERNST

This manufacturer focuses the main range of products on the spare parts market. Even upon closer examination of the muffler, the quality factor, perfect welds and excellent anti-corrosion treatment are striking, which indicates the reliability and quality of the products of this brand, which also has EU conformity certificates. The entire production process is fully automated (even the trimming of parts is performed by an expensive laser machine), which virtually eliminates the possibility of defects. The company produces such exhaust systems that have complete geometric identity with factory counterparts, but are more attractive.

ERNST mufflers are the best choice on the aftermarket, and are truly made in Germany. The proposed range allows you to put the exhaust system on almost any car from leading manufacturers. In the reviews of the owners there is a huge number of positive assessments of the mufflers of this company: they are easy to install (the dimensions are fully consistent with the original), have low vibration and an extended service life. In favor of ERNST is the fact that its manufacturer has established direct deliveries to the service centers of the auto giant FORD.

2 BOSAL

The manufacturer of exhaust systems BOSAL enjoys steady popularity with the consumer due to its wide range and relatively low price. A major European brand consists of 31 factories and 4 scientific laboratories. All produced mufflers and components of exhaust lines are of the best quality. Each unit of production, regardless of its country of origin, before getting into the hands of the consumer, goes through a series of tests and checks. The manufactured parts are supplied not only to the secondary market of spare parts, but also to the factory conveyors of Audi, GM, Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda, etc.

The use of aluminized steel in the production of mufflers ensures reliability and service life. In addition, BOSAL systems are protected from both external and internal corrosion due to the presence of a special drainage hole for the evacuation of condensate, which actively destroys the muffler walls from the inside.Buyers (including domestic ones) in their reviews note the fact that, despite the high quality, the cost of products looks more than balanced and attractive. VAZ car owners especially appreciate BOSAL mufflers for the lowest noise level. At the same time, recommendations are often heard to be more attentive to the seller and the product in order to avoid the possibility of acquiring a fake.

1 WALKER

The American manufacturer of exhaust systems WALKER is the world market leader in this category of products and the main supplier of components for the assembly lines of such auto giants as PORSCHE, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan and others. All products are certified and meet the high EU requirements for exhaust systems in terms of emissions of harmful substances. Thanks to the constant use of the latest technologies and in-house developments in the production process, the company was the first to design and produce a catalyst. Currently, WALKER mufflers provide not only a comfortable level of exhaust noise, but also fuel economy.

The popularity of the brand in the European market confirms the high performance of the product. Installing a muffler from this company means getting a unit that is equal in durability to a factory part. Domestic motorists who have chosen WALKER systems for installation note in their reviews the high quality of workmanship and special structural reliability. The double wall muffler with stainless steel interior has the longest lifespan of any other muffler on the market.

The best domestic muffler manufacturers

Domestic manufacturers of exhaust systems are widely represented on the Russian market, and their products are more affordable. This category includes companies that produce the best mufflers for different brands of cars, including the VAZ model range.

5 Phobos

The range of mufflers produced by this company is quite large, and is suitable for domestic cars and foreign cars. Phobos exhaust systems can be successfully installed on cars such as VAZ, UAZ, Renault, Kia, Hyundai and other models. All efforts of the manufacturer are focused on compliance with manufacturing quality standards and careful selection of raw materials (the best cold-rolled steel is used). Although the brand's products have an attractive price, their characteristics are not much inferior to the market leaders. This is confirmed by certificates of independent examinations, and verified compliance of products with GOST standards.

In consumer reviews, one can often find opposition when a muffler does not cause complaints from one owner, and vice versa, from another - only negative ratings. It didn't take long to find the reason. It's all about the underground workshops, which literally "filled up" the markets with low-grade counterfeit. The calculation is simple - satisfactory quality and affordable cost, which is absolutely not a pity to pay, attract not only buyers, but also dubious personalities who harm all market participants with their activities.

4 Tri-V Plus

The manufacturer is among the top five brands of exhaust systems not only in our rating.This company is one of the largest, supplying the lion's share of its products to the domestic spare parts market. The range of exhaust systems corresponds to the produced car models in Russia and neighboring countries (CIS countries). The company maintains a confident position in the budget niche thanks to the reputation gained over the years. Silencers are of satisfactory quality and have gained popularity in the Russian market, having the lowest possible cost.

In their reviews, the owners share their belief that Tri-V Plus exhaust systems fully justify every ruble invested in them. Despite the low price, the mufflers have been “nursing” for more than two years, have a satisfactory level of noise reduction and are in constant demand in the market. They are more often than others chosen by owners of classic VAZ models in the southern regions of the country, where the number of these cars is still large.

3 Silencer

Some of the best mufflers in Russia and the CIS have been produced in Nizhny Novgorod for over 20 years. The active growth of production capacities began in 2007 - then Avtokontinent + managed to break into the top three in the production of automotive exhaust systems. Now the company has modern equipment from South Korea, high-speed presses, and an automated welding line. And the quality of finished products has finally reached a level that made it possible to set up the production of mufflers for some foreign cars without fear and enter the international market.

Due to the excellent raw material preparation of the materials used and reliable assembly, the Automuffler is in demand among the owners of VAZ, Moskvich, GAZ, Daewoo, VW, UAZ, KIA, Hyundai, Renault and other brands.The decision to install the exhaust systems of this brand was not spontaneous. The reviews note that the choice is based solely on a pragmatic approach (the price is quite competitive in the market) and word of mouth, with the help of which the number of buyers is steadily expanding without any marketing decisions.

2 ATIHO

Having united in a large holding with Italian manufacturers, ATIHO has launched the production of mufflers with the best anti-corrosion protection. European quality combined with the price of domestic producers (even the most expensive Russian ones are cheaper than imported ones) is the key to great popularity in the market. The produced range is suitable for installation not only on most imported car models, but also applicable to domestic vehicles (VAZ, Oka, GAZ, IZH and others).

In the reviews of the owners, the main advantage is considered to be good noise suppression performance, as well as durability - depending on the conditions and intensity of operation, mufflers are nursed for 4 years or more. The downside is that it doesn't always fit, and it may take a little tweaking to fit an ATIHO exhaust system. There are also many fakes on the market, the quality of which has nothing to do with the products of this company.

1 Ekris

Mufflers of the company are in demand not only among the consumer - this is one of the few brands that is preferred by specialists in the repair of exhaust systems.The manufacturer produces a wide range of spare parts, and the whole range of products has a common feature - the stability of quality over the years. There is also a subsidiary brand on the market - "Auto 63", which has a complete identity with the main one. Compared to mufflers of other brands, "Ekris" weighs more due to the increase in the thickness of the pipe walls. The peculiarity of the design of partitions and perforations, the presence of refractory fiber that does not absorb condensate, effectively dampens resonating vibrations and reduces the noise level.

Owners who decide to install a muffler from this company note several factors that determined this choice:

• Affordable cost;
• Availability of models with an increased service life (with a double case made of aluminized metal);
• Full compliance with the dimensions of the original VAZ exhaust system;
• Factory warranty.

The last factor is decisive when choosing, because. itself precludes marriage. Judging by the reviews, the reinforced model is more popular on the market due to its high reliability and a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
