  • Methods and systems for an exhaust muffler system
    Patent number: 11649750
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust muffler system with multiple inlets of different diameters. In one example, the muffler system may include multiple sets of inlet pipes to a muffler with each set of inlet pipes including pipes of different diameters with valves controlling exhaust flow into the inlet pipes. Exhaust from an engine bank may flow to a distinct set of inlet pipes and a distinct outlet pipe of the muffler via a separate exhaust passage.

  • Exhaust tuning system and method
    Patent number: 11261769
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting a position of an exhaust valve that regulates engine exhaust noise. In one example, the position of the exhaust valve is adjusted according to a road grade estimate. The road grade estimate may be based on a vehicle's present position on a road or a position that is a distance away from the vehicle's present position.
