• an inner cylinder through which the exhaust gas passes is provided in the outer cylinder,
• the muffling member having a cylindrical shape,
• a part of an inner peripheral surface of the muffling member has a cylindrical recess serving as a holding member fitting recess and a holding member made of cushioning material is fitted in the holding member fitting recess,
• at least a part of the muffling member is supported by an outer wall of the inner cylinder via the holding member,
• the inner cylinder includes, in an area where the inner cylinder overlaps with the muffling member with respect to an axial direction of the inner cylinder, a porous wall portion provided with communication holes communicating an inside and an outside of the inner cylinder,
• the holding member is arranged at a position where the holding member does not overlap with at least a part of the porous wall portion with respect to the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and
• arrangement is such that the exhaust gas having passed through the muffling member flows into the inner cylinder through the communication holes.
