  • Patent number: 10961895
    Abstract: A muffler includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe which, along with the inner pipe, forms a double-wall pipe. A cavity is provided between the inner and outer pipes. A first end of the double-wall pipe is closed between the inner and outer pipes, and a second end of the double-wall pipe has an opening between the inner and outer pipes. The cavity communicates with an exhaust channel via the opening. The cavity is formed as a result of the inner pipe being shaped in a manner such that a portion of an outer-circumferential surface of the inner pipe is positioned on an inner-circumferential side relative to a reference, the reference being a position of an outer-circumferential surface of the outer pipe.
