Mufflers and silencers reduce the noise produced by compressed air and vacuum equipment as air moves in and out of the system. Intake silencers quiet the rush of air drawn into a compressor or pump, while exhaust mufflers soften the sharp report of air venting from valves, cylinders, and blow-off ports. Lowering that noise makes a shop safer and more comfortable to work in.

Choosing a muffler with the correct thread size and flow rating keeps sound down without choking airflow or adding back pressure. Many intake units also include a filter element to protect the machine from dust. Explore related intake protection in our air filters, and see more shop add-ons in our air accessories category.
