MULTI-PIECE MUFFLER HOUSING

摘要

The present invention provides an exhaust system for use on a motorcycle having an internal combustion engine with at least one exhaust port, the exhaust system including a first tubular member having a first end removeably coupled to the exhaust port of the internal combustion engine, and a second end, opposite the first end, forming a first connector. Where the first tubular member also includes a catalytic element positioned within the first tubular member between the first end and the second end, and where the first tubular member is gas-tight such that all exhaust gas entering the first end must pass through the catalytic element before exiting the second end. The exhaust system also includes a second member removeably coupled to the first connector of the first member, the second member having one or more baffles positioned therein.
