Catalytic converter muffler

In a catalytic converter muffler, the combination comprising:

• (a) a tubular housing having inlet and outlet end portions, and a baffle chamber intermediate the length thereof;
• (b) a catalytic converter supported in said tubular housing adjacent said inlet end portion, said converter providing a flow passage therethrough;
• (c) a pair of tubular baffle members disposed in said baffle chamber and extending in parallel relationship spaced from said housing, said baffle members having a substantially uniform cross section and perforations along the length thereof;
• (d) an outlet offset baffle ring closing the inlet end of one of said baffle members to block flow of gas thereinto from said catalytic converter;
• (e) an inlet offset baffle ring closing the outlet end of the other of said baffle members to block flow of gas outwardly therefrom to said outlet end of said housing;
• (f) a power bar in said outlet end portion closely adjacent the outlet end thereof to interrupt the harmonic waves of the gas in said outlet;
• (g) whereby exhaust gas flows from said catalytic converter into the open inlet end of said other baffle member, is blocked by said outlet baffle ring, said gas then flowing through said perforations into said baffle chambers into said one baffle member through the perforations in said baffle member, said gas then flowing outwardly through the outlet end of said baffle member.
