Abstract: An exhaust system includes a first exhaust after-treatment system receiving exhaust gases generated by an engine, a second exhaust after-treatment system downstream of the first exhaust after-treatment system, and at least one bypass connecting an engine outlet to an inlet to the second exhaust after-treatment system. A turbocharger is associated with the bypass and a bypass valve is located upstream of the turbocharger. The bypass valve is moveable between an open position to bypass exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, a closed position to direct all exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, and a partially open position where one portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the first exhaust after-treatment system and a remaining portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the turbocharger. A controller controls movement of the bypass valve between the open, closed, and partially open positions.

Abstract: A vehicle exhaust component assembly includes a first exhaust component, a second exhaust component downstream of the first exhaust component, and an injection system configured to inject a reducing agent into engine exhaust gases upstream of the second exhaust component. A mixer connects an outlet of the first exhaust component to an inlet to the second exhaust component. The mixer includes an outer housing that is configured to direct a mixture of the reducing agent and the engine exhaust gases into the second exhaust component. The mixer also includes at least one insulation feature that is configured to reduce heat lost at the outer housing.
