For vehicles with automatic transmission, the dynamic damper to reduce vibration of the exhaust pipe can be damaged due to insufficient strength. If the damaged dynamic damper is left unfixed, the vibration of the exhaust pipe increases and it can cause the pipe to break, which may interfere with the brake pipe. In such a case, at worst, the brake pipe could be damaged resulting in reduced brake efficiency.
