The exhaust system includes a muffler housing cover spaced from the muffler housing to define an airflow channel therebetween, the muffler housing cover forming a bottom opening. The exhaust system also includes a gas combiner at least partially surrounding the muffler exhaust outlet on the bottom end of the muffler housing and extending through the bottom opening of the muffler housing cover.
