ABSTRACT:
An exhaust component for an internal combustion engine includes a housing having an interior. Left and right inlet tubes are provided on an inlet end wall of the housing for conveying exhaust gases to the interior, and at least one outlet tube is provided on an opposite outlet end wall of the housing for conveying the exhaust gases from the interior. A first panel extending between top and bottom walls of the housing in a position intermediate the inlet and outlet end walls defines an outlet opening in fluid communication with the outlet tube. Second and third panels extend convergingly toward the outlet opening from left and right side walls of the housing in order to direct the exhaust gases toward the outlet opening. One embodiment includes both left and right outlet tubes that extend from the outlet end wall to the outlet opening covergingly so that both the left and right outlet tubes are in fluid communication with the outlet opening. Preferably, the first, second, and third panels are parts of a plate bent into a three-panel configuration. Preferably, the first, second, and third panels cooperate with the top and bottom walls, the left and right side walls, and the outlet end wall to form a Helmholtz chamber, and the left and right inlet tubes are flared.
