Abstract
A vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust component having an inner wall to define an internal cavity that provides an engine exhaust gas flow path from an inlet to an outlet. An injector is configured to spray a fluid into the internal cavity to mix with engine exhaust gas. An inlet baffle is mounted to the exhaust component adjacent the inlet and includes at least one scoop having a scoop length that is greater than a scoop width. The scoop includes a scoop opening that directs engine exhaust gas toward the inner wall of the internal cavity at a location that is upstream of spray injected by the injector.
