Some parts of the US do not use the word "muffler" but it is used in some places (New England, for example, uses muffler too). Re: scarf vs. muffler. That's more of a UK English distinction - A scarf is a woman's scarf or a silk scarf as was worn by early pilots. A winter scarf is a muffler in the UK (to the best of my knowledge). Ciao! It’s also a muffler.
