Abstract
An exhaust muffler has a monolithic honeycomb catalyst mounted within an oblong shaped casing. An inlet conveys exhaust gas into one end of the casing and an outlet flows the exhaust gas away from the other end. At its end spaced from the casing the inlet is generally round while its end connected to the casing has a shape conforming to that of the casing. The sides of the inlet taper outwardly providing a smooth surface for the flow path to the casing. A flow dividing member traverses the flow path in the inlet between its ends for dividing the flow without causing any turbulence.
