Abstract

An expansion-type muffler for internal combustion engines, interposed in an exhaust system, and provided with a chamber with a substantial volume. The chamber communicates with the up-stream and down-stream sides of the exhaust system. A plate member is connected with an inner wall of the muffler body, and is provided in the body so that all of the connecting points between the plate member and the inner wall are not disposed in the same plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the muffler body.
