  • Exhaust tube and tuning tube assembly with whistle reduction feature
    Patent number: 10634024
    Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system component includes an exhaust tube defining an exhaust gas flow path, a side branch tuning tube connected to the exhaust tube at an interface, and a porous structure associated with the exhaust tube to reduce noise generated at the interface. In one example, the porous structure comprises a perforated orifice in the exhaust tube. In another example, the porous structure comprises a mesh screen or mesh sleeve.

  • Tailpipe diffuser
    Patent number: 9121329
    Abstract: A diffuser for a vehicle exhaust system includes a body defined by a tubular portion comprising an outer peripheral wall extending about a central axis and at least one surface that extends at an angle relative to the central axis. A tailpipe connection interface is formed at one end of the tubular portion. In one example, the surface extends at an oblique angle relative to the central axis. In another example, a first plurality of holes is formed within the outer peripheral wall and a second plurality of holes is formed within the surface.
