Replacing the resonator yourself
To remove the resonator (additional muffler) you will need: two keys for “17” and two keys for “13”. Before dismantling, it is advisable to treat all fastening joints with a rust-dissolving agent. For example, it could be the popular WD-40.
First of all, we unscrew the clamp through which the additional muffler is connected to the main one. This process was described in more detail a little higher. Now we place some kind of stand under the catalytic converter so that after disconnecting the resonator, the catalyst does not sag and is damaged.
Now, using keys “17”, unscrew the bolts securing the additional muffler to the catalyst. Pull out the bolts and remove the additional muffler.
Installation of a new resonator is carried out in the following order:
1. When installing a new additional muffler, first fix it on the catalytic converter side. To do this, insert the bolts and tighten the nuts with several turns of thread.
2. Next, we connect the main muffler with the additional one. At the same time, we install a new graphite ring-spacer between them. It is imperative to check the tightness of the graphite gasket.
3. Place a new clamp at the connection point, and then completely tighten the bolts securing the resonator to the catalyst.
Where to start tuning?
Experienced technicians at our Lyokha Exhaust car service center advise starting with tuning the exhaust manifold. Alternatively, it is possible to install an equal-length downpipe as a replacement for the spider. As a rule, installing such a downpipe gives an increase in power of +3-5% of the total engine horsepower.
If you care about cooling the exhaust gases and cleaning them, we recommend installing a sports catalyst. Next, pipes and corrugations are replaced with larger diameter ones to increase throughput. Replacing the resonator with a stronger when creating a direct-flow exhaust system is an important step in the entire work. Replacing the rear muffler can helps correct the exhaust sound and customize it individually to the owner's wishes.
Remember that high-quality components for a good car exhaust system tuning will never be cheap. Try not to skimp on the quality of the installed elements; they will last you much longer. Tuning a car's exhaust system is a good way to improve its professional performance.
The cost of tuning the muffler and exhaust system
As mentioned above, tuning is voluntary, but subject to professionals. Therefore, the cost may be completely undemocratic. As practice shows, more or less, high-quality work will cost the customer from 20,000 to 80,000 rubles. But this is far from the limit! Most first-class work costs from 200,000 to 500,000 rubles, and exclusive projects can cost up to 2,000,000 rubles. The cost directly depends on the desired result; sometimes you have to choose between greater performance, sound tuning and beauty. If everything is clear with power, and the craftsmen will try to maximize the strength of the engine with a new exhaust, then the sound is individual, and the craftsmen will have to individually select it for you, which can significantly increase the cost.
The pinnacle of exhaust sound tuning is the installation of an Active sound exhaust system. Installing an active exhaust system allows you to create a strong and deep sound for any type of vehicle. This solution is often used on cars with a diesel engine, since their sound is not considered “canonical”. But many experts advise using a more affordable solution - a damper. This allows you to choose between soft and loud sound, but is much cheaper!
Power increase
Tuning the exhaust system is a step towards increasing the engine power of your car. It makes sense to perform tuning using high-quality components from reliable manufacturers who provide a guarantee. As a rule, installing a direct-flow muffler and a sports catalyst gives an increase in power of approximately 3-7% of the total horsepower of the car. Each component of the exhaust system can be upgraded and this will help achieve maximum throughput and a significant increase in power (+ 10-13%).

Changing the exhaust sound
A pleasant sporty exhaust sound is obtained depending on various nuances, certain characteristics of each specific car and the design features of the exhaust system designed for a specific car.
As a rule, to change the exhaust sound, car owners resort to replacing the resonator. It is with its help that you can achieve the desired exhaust sound.
The resonator is a metal body with a perforated tube inside, and the perforation can be different: small, large, directional, etc., and between the tube and the body there is various packing: fiberglass (“Glasspack”), mineral and basalt wool, and very cheap resonators - metal shavings.
How to repair a silencer with your own hands
The muffler on the “fourteenth” and “fifteenth” is considered one of the most vulnerable points of the car. The fact is that due to exposure to high temperatures, the metal quickly burns out, that is, the tightness of the system is broken. Therefore, the part must be changed as soon as there is a suspicion that it is not working.
Reasons for failure
Most often, mufflers “burn out” - that is, due to hot exhaust, the metal inside the housing begins to thin out, which ultimately leads to the appearance of holes. However, this is not the only reason why the silencer may fail:
using a homemade device - handicraft products do not differ in quality and long service life;
mechanical shocks from uneven roads - dents and deformations of the pipe also lead to loss of tightness;
Rust and corrosion sooner or later affects even the highest quality original mufflers.
In general, all of these factors influence service life to some extent. The car owner can easily identify all of the above faults - just drive the VAZ into the inspection hole and visually examine the muffler. In addition, when deformations, burnouts and corrosion reach their “peak”, the part will begin to make characteristic sounds when moving - gurgling, sharp pops, knocking.
Why is the muffler knocking?
This part on the VAZ 2114/2115 can make knocking noises only in two cases:
it hits the body;
When moving, it touches the gas tank housing.
In any case, it is necessary to immediately take measures to eliminate this malfunction. Most often, the problem lies in severe wear of the rubber suspensions. It is enough to change them and the muffler will again return to its normal position under the bottom of the car.
In some cases, the silencer begins to knock when its elements have been installed incorrectly - for example, after replacing the resonator or exhaust pipe. In this case, you will need to double-check that all fasteners and gaskets are installed correctly.
What to do if the plug is clogged
During vehicle operation, dirt, soot, fuel impurities and other sediments will inevitably accumulate in the exhaust system pipes. Gradually, they will settle on the walls of the muffler and clog its working space.
The driver can notice this only by the behavior of his car:
At first, it will be difficult to gain speed when overtaking.
Then, even with uniform movement, the car will have difficulty maintaining the set speed limit.
Black exhaust from the pipe, loss of engine dynamics.
Cleaning the muffler is a tedious and time-consuming procedure. In addition, if the pipes are clogged, then, most likely, after cleaning, other defects will be revealed - such as rust or burnouts. Therefore, it is more advisable to simply install a new one.
Thermal insulation is completely burnt out
The car owner needs to carefully ensure that the resonator coating is always sealed. The barrel is covered with special thermal insulation materials, which sooner or later burn out during the operation of the machine. If you do not change the insulation in time, you will soon have to change the muffler itself.
To do this, the pipes are dismantled from under the car and separated in parts. A special heat-resistant cloth is glued to the surface, which can be purchased at any auto store. Such protection will ensure a longer service life and significantly reduce the noise of the motor.
What is the VAZ 2115 exhaust system and how to replace the muffler
Change your appearance
The appearance of the car can be changed using muffler tips. We have a huge selection of attachments from different manufacturers that you can try on your car. We also manufacture attachments for the rear muffler can according to individual projects starting from 1000 rubles.

Cons of controlled exhaust:
- Both systems need to be configured
This is due to the fact that the car will have two sounds. The first sound can be set quite quietly and have a velvety sound. The second system can be configured with a completely opposite sound.
Replacing the muffler for VAZ 21142115
Muffler failure on a car can happen for various reasons:
- mechanical damage;
- influence of atmospheric and mud precipitation;
- burnout of the internal elements and walls of the muffler.
Signs of a malfunction most often manifest themselves in increased exhaust sound: the car is very loud, rumbles, an abundance of exhaust gases appears from under the car in the muffler area and the smell of unrefined fuel.
How to change the "glushak" with your own hands
In many cases, the muffler cannot be repaired and requires urgent replacement. This is not as difficult to do as it seems. You will need:
- new muffler + repair kit (rubber cushions, corrugation, metal-graphite ring installed under a clamp at the junction of the pipes of the additional and main mufflers);
- tools;
- portable lamp;
- inspection hole or jack;
- two hours of free time;
- hands growing from the right place.
