Big name in mufflers

Answer:

MIDAS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Big name in mufflers" plays on two meanings of "mufflers." One is the car part that reduces engine noise, but the other is a type of scarf or wrap—something a well-known chain like Midas (famous for auto repairs) wouldn’t actually sell. The clue misdirects you by making you think of the clothing item while hinting at the brand name tied to cars. It’s a sneaky way to lead you to MIDAS without being too obvious.
