Abstract

A flat, box-like muffler formed of metal upper and lower housing sections and internal gas passage defining plates has drainage holes to allow liquid that collects on the top of the muffler or on the bottom of the lower section inside the housing to drain out of the muffler. A special sound attenuation structure comprising passages pressed in the plates and support channels in the housing sections is shown.
