A combination muffler and catalytic converter for an exhaust system. The unit comprises an outer housing having an inlet to receive exhaust gases, and a venturi is located within the housing and provides an aspirating effect to draw air into the housing from the atmosphere for the catalytic conversion. The venturi includes a diverging conical outlet section, and the gases are discharged from the outlet section through a plurality of perforations which aids in obtaining a uniform distribution of the gases to the catalytic unit that is located centrally of the housing. After passing through the catalytic unit, the gases are discharged from the housing through a discharge pipe having a closed inner end and perforations in its wall through which the gases flow. The perforated discharge pipe provides a self-controlling system which prevents overheating of the catalyst.
