Abstract
An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine includes a conduit in fluid communication with a combustion chamber for transferring exhaust gases from the combustion chamber. The exhaust system also includes a port disposed along the conduit for admitting supplemental air into the conduit so that the supplemental air combines with the exhaust gases and flows immediately in a direction downstream from the combustion chamber to draw the exhaust gases from the combustion chamber and to increase combustion of the exhaust gases.
