Abstract
The invention concerns an exhaust gas cooler employed with a tailpipe of a vehicle exhaust system and a method of cooling exhaust gasses before being emitted from the exhaust system into the atmosphere. The exhaust gas cooler may include a cooler housing having a substantially cylindrical shape with an open forward edge, an open rearward edge, and an internal diameter that is larger than the external diameter of the tailpipe, and a cooler support attached to and supporting the cooler housing such that the rearward edge of the tailpipe is located within the cooler housing between the forward and rearward edges of the cooler housing.
