ABSTRACT:
An vertical mount catalytic converter muffler for use on a combustion engine is provided. The vertical mount catalytic converter includes a muffler body having an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet and a sound attenuator; a catalytic converter arrangement positioned within the muffler arrangement between the exhaust inlet and the exhaust outlet; and a water collector and diverter arrangement positioned within the muffler body between the catalytic converter arrangement and the exhaust outlet. The water collector and diverter arrangement can include a funnel cup and conduit arrangement which collects water which enters through the exhaust outlet or which condenses in the muffler body, and diverts the collected water away from the catalytic converter. The vertical mount catalytic converter muffler can be assembled without using a leakproof weld.
