ABSTRACT:
An exhaust manifold muffler having an exhaust manifold portion 10 and a muffler portion 20 integral with the exhaust manifold portion 10. The exhaust manifold portion 10 includes a plurality of manifold pipes 11 having parallel downstream ends which are spaced from each other and are arranged in a row. Each manifold pipe is connected to a respective cylinder of an internal combustion engine such that exhaust presssure pulsations from the manifold pipes operate as reflected waves opposite in phase, so as to damp the pressure pulsations. The muffler portion 20 has a first muffler chamber 22 and a swirl pipe 29 installed in the first muffler chamber 22. The manifold pipes 11 extend tangentially into the first manifold chamber to produce a swirl in the first muffler chamber 22. Part of the swirl enters an upper inlet end of the swirl pipe. The swirl pipe 29 has a lower outlet end which is located between the downstream ends of the manifold pipes 11. When the recirculated exhaust gas flows out of the swirl pipe 29, it aspirates the exhaust gas from the manifold pipes 11. As a result, the flow resistance of the muffler is small.
