Abstract
A muffler for an engine assembly is disclosed. This muffler is arcuately-shaped and may be configured so as to not protrude beyond an outermost perimeter of an engine assembly that uses this muffler. The muffler may include a lower chamber, an intermediate chamber, and an upper chamber that are disposed in a common stack. Exhaust inlet and outlet ports to the muffler may be located at a common end of the muffler body. The exhaust inlet port may lead into the lower chamber. Multiple exhaust outlet ports out of the upper chamber may be utilized to allow the muffler to be used with different vehicle configurations, for instance to direct exhaust out of the muffler in different directions.
