ABSTRACT:
An exhaust system baffling apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a tube with at least one end that is not open. The apparatus further includes a plurality of C-shaped flanges in surrounding relation about the tube. The outer edges of the flanges have a contour which generally corresponds to a contour of an inner surface of a wall of an exhaust pipe. Opposed portions of the flanges adjacent the slits of the flanges are spread apart along the tube in a longitudinal direction. In addition, the opposed portions of the flanges adjacent the slits are angled in opposite directions and extend radially from the tube at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the tube. At least two of the flanges include brackets adjacent the outer edges of the flanges, wherein the brackets are adapted for securing the apparatus to an interior portion of the exhaust pipe.
