An exhaust recovery system for use with an internal combustion engine having an air intake device connected to an air/fuel mixing device. The system comprises an improved muffler having a vortex inducing filter mechanism inside the muffler chamber that facilitates separation of engine exhaust air into cool and hot gas streams and encloses a filter element that filters out particulate matter and other pollutants. Engine exhaust air is circumferentially discharged into the muffler chamber and a cone member is disposed inside the chamber to separate and direct the gas streams. The cooled gas stream is redirected to the air intake device through an outlet pipe at the first end of the muffler so pressurized cooled air is directed into the air/fuel mixing device to improve engine performance and efficiency. The filtered hot gas stream is discharged to the environment out a discharge pipe at the second end of the muffler.
