Exhaust assembly

An exhaust assembly comprising:

• a muffler housing;
• a first tailpipe connected to the muffler housing and having a first outer diameter, the first tailpipe comprising an exit end defining an outlet and a curved portion along at least a portion of a length of the first tailpipe, wherein the first tailpipe is adapted to discharge an exhaust gas through the outlet;
• a baffle surrounding the first tailpipe at the exit end, the baffle defining a plurality of perforations therethrough, the baffle having a baffle outer diameter;
• a pair of shields formed as separate parts, wherein each shield is attached to and at least partially surrounds each of the baffle and the first tailpipe, each shield extending from a first end proximal to the exit end of the first tailpipe to a second end distal to the exit end of the first tailpipe, wherein each shield engages the baffle at the first end and engages the first tailpipe at least at or proximal to the second end, wherein each shield is at least partially curved along its length, such curve being complementary in shape to a curve of the curved portion of the first tailpipe, such that each shield at least partially surrounds the curved portion of the first tailpipe, and wherein the pair of shields is adapted to allow fluid flow to or from the plurality of perforations of the baffle;
• and
• a second tailpipe spaced apart from the first tailpipe and connected to the muffler housing, the second tailpipe having a second outer diameter greater than the first outer diameter of the first tailpipe and substantially equal to the baffle outer diameter of the baffle.
