Flow redirection member and method of manufacture

A fluid transmission device, comprising:

• a tubular member having an exterior wall made of a material;
• an opening formed in the exterior wall by depressing a portion of the exterior wall within the tubular member;
• an integral flow redirection member formed from the same material as the exterior wall and formed from the portion of the exterior wall depressed within the tubular member;
• a separable collar connected to the wall at the opening in the wall;
• and
• wherein the flow redirection member has a curved shape to redirect a portion of fluid flow traveling within the tubular member through the opening and into the collar.

An exhaust for a vehicle, the exhaust comprising:

• a tubular member having a wall made of a particular material;
• an integral flow redirection member formed from the particular material of the wall, the flow redirection member consisting of:
• a slit in the wall depressed within the wall adjacent the slit whereby a portion of the wall extends within the tubular member;
• an opening formed in the wall of the tubular member from the slit depressed within the wall;
• a collar connected to the wall at the opening in the wall;
• a second tubular member removably connected with the collar;
• and
• wherein the flow redirection member redirects a portion of exhaust gases traveling within the tubular member through the opening and into the second tubular member.

A fluid transmission device, comprising:

• a tubular member having a wall;
• a portion of the wall depressed within an interior of the tubular member wherein the portion of the wall is capable of redirecting fluid flow within the tubular member;
• an opening formed in the tubular member from the depressed portion wherein the opening has a perimeter at the wall of the tubular member;
• and
• a collar attached to the tubular member at the perimeter of said opening wherein the portion of the wall is shaped to redirect at least a portion of the fluid flow into the collar.
