Abstract
An exhaust passage has an upstream end connected to an engine combustion chamber and a downstream end open to the atmosphere. A device substantially equalizes natural frequencies of the exhaust passage respectively corresponding to third-degree and fourth-degree modes of standing pressure waves developing in the exhaust passage. A pressure damper is connected to a point of the exhaust passage at which an antinode of the third-degree or fourth-degree mode lies.
