Muffler Assembly Including A Center Muffler And Two Satellite Mufflers

An exhaust assembly for receiving exhaust gas from an engine of a vehicle adapted to travel along a surface, the exhaust assembly comprising:

• a first exhaust device adapted to receive exhaust gas from the engine;
• a second exhaust device adapted to receive exhaust gas from the engine;
• a first muffler including an X-pipe having a first inlet adapted to receive exhaust gas from the first exhaust device, a second inlet adapted to receive exhaust gas from the second exhaust device, a first outlet, and a second outlet, the first and second inlets and the first and second outlets being fluidly connected to one another;
• a second muffler including a second housing, a third inlet adapted to receive exhaust gas from the first outlet, and a third outlet;
• and
• a third muffler including a third housing, a fourth inlet adapted to receive exhaust gas from the second outlet, and a fourth outlet, wherein the first and second exhaust devices are disposed laterally outboard of the first muffler and on opposing sides of the first muffler.
