11401851 · 2022-08-02 ·

The vehicular exhaust system presents a plurality of flow paths that transport exhaust gases between one or more catalytic converters and a muffler. The span of the length of each of the plurality of flow paths varies such that phase differences in the sound waves carried by the exhaust gas are generated. These phase differences cause the sound waves to cancel thereby reducing combustion engine sounds before the exhaust enters the muffler. The vehicular exhaust system comprises a plurality of pipes, a plurality of connectors, and a plurality of cants. The plurality of connectors form fluidic connections between the plurality of pipes to form a manifold that creates the plurality of flow paths. The plurality of cants are angles formed within the manifold structure that change the span of length of each of the plurality of flow paths.
