A process for producing a muffler hose having opposite ends, an intermediate portion having a noise-reducing communication hole, and a noise-reducing expansion chamber. The process includes the steps of fitting a protector at the opposite ends of the hose, and disposing the hose and the protectors in a separable blow-molding mold having a jaw; extruding a tubular parison around the hose and the protectors, closing the blow-molding mold, reducing the parison diametrically at two axially-apart positions by the jaw, clamping the parison around the hose at two axially-opposite positions of the hose, the two axially-opposite positions being intervened by the communication hole, and placing the opposite ends of the parison around the protectors; and blowing air into the parison through one of the protectors, and the communication hole of the hose to expand the parison, thereby forming the expansion chamber. The process can produce the muffler hose, having high accuracy on the outer periphery at the opposite ends, at reduced production cost.
