ABSTRACT:
An exhaust system for vehicles and other devices with internal combustion engines such as boats, airplanes, lawnmowers, tractors, and the like, includes a sound attenuating chamber having a single, common opening in an imperforate container providing access for exhaust gases both to and from the container while attenuating the exhaust sound thereof. The system maintains low back pressure during operation. Resonator tubes and optional sound absorbing material may be used in the chamber to control exhaust sounds. An optional, remote-operated, sound control valve upstream of the chamber allows individualized control of the exhaust sound by the vehicle driver. An optional baffle in the exhaust outlet and/or an optional helical insert in the exhaust pipe further deadens the sound. In a preferred form, the system is attached downstream of a catalytic converter and includes dual sound attenuating chambers and dual exhaust outlets at the opposite vehicle sides between the front and rear wheels.
