An exhaust system includes a housing having an internal cavity defining an exhaust gas passage extending along an axis, at least one exhaust gas aftertreatment component positioned within the internal cavity, and an inlet cover mounted to the housing to provide an open internal area that is upstream of the internal cavity. The inlet cover has a contoured outer surface that includes an inlet opening and at least one sensor opening that is configured to receive an exhaust gas sensor. An inlet tube is mounted to the inlet cover at the inlet opening. A plate is positioned upstream of the at least one gas aftertreatment component and within the open internal area. The plate has a curved surface with a plurality of openings.

A muffler, connected to an engine through an exhaust pipe, includes a shell serving as a muffler body, an inlet pipe configured to introduce exhaust gas from the engine into the shell, an outlet pipe configured to discharge the exhaust gas out of the shell, and a cap configured to be attached to a narrowed portion of the inlet pipe and control the direction in which the exhaust gas flows out. The cap is provided with an opening through which the exhaust gas passes and which regulates the direction in which the exhaust gas flows out.

An exhaust system noise reduction device of a vehicle enables an exhaust system to contribute to an increase in engine output while reducing engine exhaust noise. The exhaust system noise reduction device includes a muffler housing formed to airtightly surround a rear end section of an exhaust pipe; a branch pipe branched from a front end section of the exhaust pipe while having a rear end section of the branch pipe extend through the muffler housing; a barrier wall disposed at a peripheral surface of the rear end section of the exhaust pipe to divide an inner space of the muffler housing into a first chamber and a second chamber; and a punched portion formed at the rear end section of the branch pipe and disposed in the first chamber. A resonance chamber structure for reducing exhaust noise is formed in the first chamber, thereby reducing exhaust noise.

An exhaust silencer device which is interposed in an exhaust passage in a vehicle to reduce exhaust noise comprises a sub-muffler which is interposed in the exhaust passage and has an expansion chamber formed therein; an inlet pipe which is airtightly inserted through an inlet opening of the sub-muffler; and an outlet pipe which is airtightly inserted through an outlet opening of the sub-muffler, wherein the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are formed with openings (small apertures, non-joined portions) only in their upper half area and their lower half area is sealed without having the openings.

A muffler for an engine includes a muffler body, at least one partition wall, and at least one reinforcing plate. The muffler body has an inner space formed by a shell. The partition wall includes a flange portion which is in tight contact with an inner surface of the shell, and the partition wall divides the inner space of the muffler body into a plurality of chambers. The reinforcing plate is welded on an outer surface of the shell at a position facing the flange portion of the partition wall.

An exhaust muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a muffler housing (12) with an outer shell (14) enclosing a muffler interior (22), through which exhaust gas can flow. An inner shell (54) is arranged in the muffler interior (22) and covers the outer shell (14) in at least some areas on an inner side (52) facing the muffler interior (22).

An exhaust muffler has an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, as well as a catalytic converter which, in the flow direction, is disposed between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet. The catalytic converter has at least one throughflow body which includes at least one wire body. At least one first component region of the throughflow body is coated with a catalytically functioning coating. The throughflow body moreover has a second component region which in terms of volume has a smaller quantity of catalytically functioning coating than the first component region.

A muffler assembly for an exhaust system is in fluid communication with a collector via an exhaust conduit. The muffler assembly includes a primary pipe, a valve, a secondary pipe, a tuner tube and a bleed port. The primary pipe extends through an enclosed volume of the muffler. The valve is operable to restrict flow through the primary pipe. When a standing wave is present, a resonance length is defined by a length of the exhaust system that extends from the collector to the valve. The tuner tube includes an open tuner tube end in fluid communication with the primary pipe and a closed tuner tube end. The tuner tube has a tuner tube length that is substantially one-quarter of the resonance length. The bleed port is formed in the primary pipe, allowing fluid communication with the enclosed volume, and positioned downstream from open tuner tube end.

An exhaust system includes a housing having an internal cavity defining an exhaust gas passage extending along an axis, at least one exhaust gas aftertreatment component positioned within the internal cavity, and an inlet cover mounted to the housing to provide an open internal area that is upstream of the internal cavity. The inlet cover has a contoured outer surface that includes an inlet opening and at least one sensor opening that is configured to receive an exhaust gas sensor. An inlet tube is mounted to the inlet cover at the inlet opening. A plate is positioned upstream of the at least one gas aftertreatment component and within the open internal area. The plate has a curved surface with a plurality of openings.

A noise abatement system for internal combustion engines comprising: a containment body (12) equipped with an inlet hole (6) for the entry of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, a plurality of expansion chambers (10) placed in sequence and separated by parallel dividing partitions (13), each equipped with a through-hole (4) for the passage of gases placing in fluid communication two neighboring expansion chambers (10); said expansion chambers (10) having two opposing through-holes (4), one as gas inlet and one as gas outlet. A rotating shaft (9) is integrated in a rotating turbine (1), along an axis comprising the center of gravity of the expansion chambers (10) up to an opposite end of the containment body (12), said rotating shaft (9) having placed around said axis and on said shaft (9) rotary fins (3) which open and close the through-holes (4) between expansion chambers (10) alternately and generating a swirling movement of the flow of gas entering each expansion chamber (10).
