A muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a muffler housing (14) and at least one exhaust gas pipe group (19). The at least one exhaust gas pipe group (19) includes an outlet pipe (20) open towards an expansion chamber (26) formed in the muffler housing (14). Exhaust gas introduced via the at least one exhaust gas pipe group (19) leaves the muffler housing (16) via the outlet pipe (20). A first inlet pipe (38), of the at least one exhaust gas pipe group (19), has an inlet pipe end area (40), which is inserted into the outlet pipe (20) and extends in the outlet pipe (20). A second inlet pipe (48), of the at least one exhaust gas pipe group (19), is open towards the expansion chamber (26).

An exhaust gas after-treatment device in a driveline application, which device comprising a casing having an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces connecting the upper and lower surfaces to form an enclosed volume. The casing is provided with an exhaust inlet opening and an exhaust outlet opening wherein exhaust gas is supplied to and discharged from the casing through the upper surface. At least one of the exhaust inlet and outlet openings is operatively connected to its corresponding inlet or outlet pipe by a pipe connector having a first opening facing the casing and a second opening facing away from the casing. The at least one pipe connector is arranged to be rotatable about the central axis of its associated inlet or outlet opening in the casing into a predetermined angular position relative to the opening in the casing.

An exhaust device in which a muffler is disposed on a side of a straddle-type vehicle includes the muffler including a tail pipe configured to discharge exhaust gas and protruding rearward, a tail cover covering a periphery of the tail pipe behind the muffler, and a protector for heat shield interposed between the muffler and the tail cover. Inner sides of the tail cover and the protector in a vehicle width direction are configured to be fixed to each other by a fastening member. An elastic locking portion is formed on an outer side of one of the tail cover and the protector in the vehicle width direction, and a holding portion configured to hold the elastic locking portion is formed on an outer side of another of the tail cover and the protector in the vehicle width direction.

An exhaust manifold heat dissipation cover coupling device for thermal stress and vibration deflection is proposed. The device has a function of preventing wear of a heat dissipation cover to couple an exhaust manifold heat dissipation cover, the device being able to improve the durability of various parts including a heat dissipation cover by attenuating multi-directional vibration that is transmitted from an exhaust manifold when the heat dissipation cover is installed outside the exhaust manifold, being able to prevent damage to parts due to thermal stress by flexibly coping with thermal deformation such as thermal contraction or thermal expansion even if the thermal deformation is generated by high-temperature heat transmitted from the exhaust manifold, and being able to prevent frictional damage of the heat dissipation cover due to friction by a component that slides to attenuate vibration.

An exhaust gas treatment assembly for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis. A first exhaust gas treatment unit is inserted in the housing and has a first casing and at least one first exhaust gas treatment unit carried in the first casing. A second exhaust gas treatment unit is inserted in the housing and has a second casing and at least one second exhaust gas treatment unit carried therein. A locking arrangement is for locking a first exhaust gas treatment unit in the housing at least against movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis in a locked state, wherein, when the first exhaust gas treatment unit and the second exhaust gas treatment unit are inserted in the housing, the locking arrangement is blocked in the locked state by the second exhaust gas treatment unit.

A device for safely re-directing carbon monoxide exhaust from generators includes a base, a holding mechanism, at least one support, and an exhaust tube. The base is configured to be positioned on a grounding surface. The holding mechanism is suspended at an elevated height from the base. The at least one support is connected between the base and the holding mechanism. The at least one support is configured to support the holding mechanism at the elevated height in a vertical orientation. The exhaust tube is configured to be connected to an exhaust outlet of the generator on a first end. The exhaust tube is configured to extend from the exhaust outlet of the generator vertically through the holding mechanism to a safe exhaust height above the exhaust outlet of the generator.

A connection device for an exhaust gas turbocharger has a bent first element with a first tensioning arm at a first end. A second bent element has a second tensioning arm at a second end opposite the first end. A third end of the first element is formed opposite a fourth end of the second element.
