<p>A muffler is constructed by inner and outer pipes, in which opposite end portions of the outer pipe are reduced in diameter, a welding portion of the inner pipe is accurately formed, and in this muffler, in order that a welding portion of the inner pipe can be accurately formed and that the outer pipe can be reduced in diameter uniformly over an entire periphery thereof to compress a buffer member uniformly over an entire periphery thereof, the inner pipe 2, having the buffer member 8 fitted on one end portion 2a thereof, is held within the outer pipe 1, held in position, in such a manner that a predetermined gap is formed between the inner and outer pipes 2 and 1. Subsequently, a diameter of the other end portion 1b of the outer pipe 1 remote from the buffer member 8 is reduced, thereby fixedly securing this other end portion to the other end portion 1b of the inner pipe 2. Subsequently, a spinning processing is applied to one end portion 1a of the outer pipe 1, thereby reducing a diameter of this one end portion until this one end portion 2a is brought into contact with the buffer member 8, and further radially compresses the buffer member 8. <IMAGE></p> |
