  • Publication number: 20210404367
    Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system includes an upstream exhaust component comprising at least a first catalyst having a first outer dimension, a downstream exhaust component comprising at least a second catalyst having a second outer dimension, and a mixer that connects the upstream and downstream exhaust components. The mixer comprises a first portion associated with an outlet from the first catalyst and a second portion associated with an inlet to the second catalyst. The first portion includes a swirl component having a first length and the second portion includes an additional component having a second length. A connection interface between the first and second portions allows the upstream and downstream exhaust components to be arranged in different positions relative to each other. A combined length of the first and second lengths is adjusted relative to the first and second outer dimensions to achieve a desired position of the upstream and downstream exhaust components relative to each other.
