The other possibility of being suffering from a muffled exhaust noise on Mitsubishi Mirage is to have a part of the exhaust device that has dislocated caused by vibrations for example. Indeed some junctions of the different parts of the pot can loosen over time and generate an exhaust gas leak in places not intended for this goal. These fumes will then generate a loud noise.
