Two stroke engine exhaust emissions separator

In an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine producing exhaust of varying pressure, a muffler for facilitating at least exhaust system noise attenuation and management of exhaust emissions, the muffler comprising:

• a muffler body having at least an outlet connection;
• and
• at least one separator substantially disposed within said muffler body so as to receive exhaust from the exhaust system, and said at least one separator being in flow communication with said outlet connection of said muffler body,
• wherein, said at least one separator adjusts flowrate of exhaust through the muffler in response to changes in exhaust system pressure, and said at least one separator imparts a substantially rotational motion to exhaust received from the exhaust system so as to facilitate substantial resolution of at least a first component of said exhaust being substantially in liquid form, at least a portion of the exhaust entering said at least one separator being directed by said at least one separator out of said muffler body by way of said outlet connection.

In an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine producing exhaust of varying pressure, a method for managing components of the exhaust, the method comprising:

• directing a flow of exhaust into a chamber;
• adjusting a flowrate of exhaust into said chamber in response to corresponding changes in exhaust system pressure;
• imparting a substantially rotational motion to said flow of exhaust so as to substantially resolve at least a first component of said flow of exhaust being substantially in liquid form;
• and
• processing at least a portion of said at least first component of said flow of exhaust being substantially in liquid form.
