Abstract

An exhaust muffler includes first and second internal plates formed to define channels and chambers. The plates are secured in face-to-face relationship, such that the channels define tubes. The tubes include an inlet tube, a return tube and an outlet tube each of which extends to or from a reversing chamber. A separate pipe extends through the return tube and into the outlet tube. The pipe and the return tube are dimensioned to permit a flow of exhaust gas therebetween.
