Exhaust manifold with turbo support
An exhaust manifold includes an inner assembly that defines an exhaust gas passage and an outer housing assembly that surrounds the inner assembly. The outer housing assembly includes a first housing component configured for attachment to an engine and a second housing component configured for attachment to a turbocharger. The first and second housing components cooperate to surround the inner assembly. At least one fastener secures the first and second housing components together to generate a compressive force that seals and holds the inner assembly in a gas tight manner.
Muffler with interconnected pipes
A muffler, in particular a rear muffler, for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, in particular a motor vehicle engine, comprises a housing, in particular a housing having a jacket and two end walls, and comprises at least one first pipe, in particular an inlet or outlet pipe which is in particular led through the jacket and which is connected to a second pipe, in particular to an inner pipe. The second pipe comprises a pipe piece into which a pipe piece of the first pipe led through an opening of an inner support element is plugged in an axially displaceable manner. In this respect, the pipe piece of the first pipe is preferably provided with slits into which nubs engage which are provided at the inner boundary of the opening of the support element. The end section of the first pipe is expanded in its region plugged into the pipe piece of the second pipe to fix the first pipe at the support element.

Exhaust-Gas After-Treatment Device
Disclosed is an exhaust-gas after-treatment device for an internal combustion engine, in particular for a ship's diesel internal combustion engine that is operated with heavy oil, including: a housing through which exhaust gas flows; exhaust-gas purification chambers formed in the housing, which chambers hold catalysts and/or particulate filters in order to purify the exhaust gas; and muffler chambers formed in the housing, which chambers have a defined depth for muffling sound in the flow direction. The exhaust-gas purification chambers and the muffler chambers are arranged spatially in series and parallel to one another on the flow side.
Exhaust system of saddle-ride type vehicle
An exhaust system of a saddle-ride type vehicle includes an exhaust pipe portion, a chamber portion, and a silencer. The exhaust pipe portion is coupled to an engine supported by a frame. The exhaust pipe portion is configured to guide exhaust air. The chamber portion is coupled to the exhaust pipe portion. A cross section of the chamber portion is formed larger than the exhaust pipe portion. The silencer is coupled to the chamber portion. The chamber portion includes: a main body portion disposed below the frame, and a fixing bracket projecting upward from the main body portion. The fixing bracket is secured to the frame. The frame and the fixing bracket have a fixed position. The fixed position is positioned above a lower end of the frame.

Aftertreatment exhaust separator and/or deflector
An exhaust elbow includes an upstream sidewall defining an upstream portion of the exhaust elbow, a downstream sidewall defining a downstream portion of the exhaust elbow, and a deflector. The upstream portion is configured to receive an upstream exhaust gas. The deflector is coupled to the upstream sidewall of the exhaust elbow upstream and is configured to deflect a portion of the upstream exhaust gas received by the upstream portion of the exhaust elbow away from a region of an interior of the exhaust elbow into which an injected reductant from a dosing module is injected. The deflector may reduce and/or prevent formation of reductant deposits on a downstream sidewall. In some implementations, an exhaust assisted flow separator may also be included to direct a portion of the upstream exhaust gas received by the upstream portion of the exhaust elbow through a dosing opening.
Dual purpose muffler
A muffler may include a main body, a perforated tube assembly disposed within the main body, inlet and outlet end cap assemblies connected to opposite ends of the main body, and inlet and outlet expansion chambers defined in opposite ends of the main body by the perforated tube assembly, the inlet and outlet end cap assemblies, and portions of the main body. The perforated tube assembly may include a plurality of perforated tubes with tube supports connected to opposite ends of the perforated tubes. Portions of each perforated tube located between the tube supports may be individually wrapped with insulating material and collectively wrapped with an additional layer of insulating material. Unwrapped portions of each perforated tube may extend into the inlet and outlet expansion chambers defined in the main body.
Flow device for exhaust treatment system
An exhaust treatment system includes an exhaust conduit for conveying exhaust gases from an engine of a vehicle. An aftertreatment device is disposed in the exhaust conduit. A flow device is disposed upstream of the aftertreatment device. The flow device includes a base having a first surface and an oppositely disposed second surface. The base defines a plurality of openings. A plurality of flow deflectors is engaged to the base at the plurality of openings. Each flow deflector includes a first deflector that extends outwardly from the first surface of the base and a second deflector that extends outwardly from the second surface of the base. The first and second deflectors define a passage. Flow of exhaust gases through the passage cause exhaust gases to swirl about a longitudinal axis of the exhaust conduit.
Muffler cutter
A muffler cutter is fitted to a tailpipe of a vehicular exhaust system, the muffler cutter includes an exhaust pipe, a plurality of through-holes formed in a side wall of the exhaust pipe, a tubular heat shield plate provided around the exhaust pipe coaxially with the exhaust pipe, and a sound-absorbing heat insulator provided between the exhaust pipe and the tubular heat shield plate. The sound-absorbing heat insulator is partially provided between the exhaust pipe and the tubular heat shield plate so as to have a curved shape. A closed space having a curved shape is formed between the exhaust pipe and the tubular heat shield plate in an area in which the sound-absorbing heat insulator is not provided. The distance between the exhaust pipe and the tubular heat shield plate in an area in which the closed space is formed is 1 to 50 mm.
