Abstract
An exhaust system noise reduction device of a vehicle enables an exhaust system to contribute to an increase in engine output while reducing engine exhaust noise. The exhaust system noise reduction device includes a muffler housing formed to airtightly surround a rear end section of an exhaust pipe; a branch pipe branched from a front end section of the exhaust pipe while having a rear end section of the branch pipe extend through the muffler housing; a barrier wall disposed at a peripheral surface of the rear end section of the exhaust pipe to divide an inner space of the muffler housing into a first chamber and a second chamber; and a punched portion formed at the rear end section of the branch pipe and disposed in the first chamber. A resonance chamber structure for reducing exhaust noise is formed in the first chamber, thereby reducing exhaust noise.
