Abstract

A nozzle for delivering texturized fibrous material into a chamber of a muffler has a body including a texturized fibrous material passageway and a separate directional jet passageway. A method of filling a chamber of a muffler with texturized fibrous material includes the steps of extending a wand into the muffler so that a nozzle on the wand is received in the chamber, discharging a stream of texturized fibrous material into the chamber from a first passageway of the nozzle and discharging a directional jet into the stream of texturized fibrous material from a second passageway of a nozzle whereby the stream of texturized fibrous material is redirected into a desired filling direction to more efficiently fill the chamber.
