New AC pressure hoses... round canisters?

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

In the process of rebuilding my AC system top to bottom...

The new pressure hose assembly that bolts to the compressor has 2 inline canisters (one on each line).. roughly 1.5" diameter/3" long. Are these some sort of filter? The original hoses don't have them.

Probably not. My guess is they are mufflers. Can you post a pic for other's better able to comment on these?

Those are mufflers.

Thanks

Me personally. I have never heard any strange noises from the muffler area. I usually remove them when making a hose.

Yeah.. they didn't fit very well either. Next time, I'll go with custom hoses or finding some OEM replacements.

Pic is a muffler as already posted. I really never had heard of a reason for mufflers in any ac system.
