Abstract:
A muffler including a double-pipe structure to muffle sounds in two or more frequencies is provided. The muffler includes an inner and outer pipes with a clearance therebetween. The inner pipe includes a first and second outer surfaces, and, at one end, an opening communicating with the outer pipe. The clearance communicates with an exhaust passage via the opening. The second outer surface forms the opening and is situated closer to the center of the inner pipe than the first outer surface is. A space between the inner and outer pipes is closed due to a contact between the first outer surface and an inner-circumferential surface of the outer pipe. A part of the clearance is formed between the first outer surface and the inner-circumferential surface. The outer-circumferential surfaces of the inner pipe include at least one communication hole that communicates the inner pipe with the clearance.
