Abstract
A muffler for work vehicle V-type internal combustion engines is disclosed, which is mounted in a horizontal sideway position, with its axis placed perpendicularly with the longitudinal vehicle axis, kept a proper distance from the chassis or vehicle body so that it is disposed in full exposure to the atmosphere for proper cooling. A pair of spaced inlet ports are provided in the muffler, at locations adjacent to opposite ends thereof for receiving the exhaust gases from the engine through a pair of parallely extending, parallel exhaust pipes directly interconnected between the combustion chambers of the two cylinders and the muffler inlet ports, without using the conventional intermediate flexible corrugated connectors.
