Claim:
1. An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, the system comprising a catalyzed substrate, a counterflow urea injector downstream of the catalyzed substrate, and a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst downstream of the counterflow urea injector, wherein: (a) the catalyzed substrate has an inlet end, an outlet end, an axial length extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, an inlet zone extending from the inlet end, and an outlet zone extending from the outlet end, (b) the inlet zone of the catalyzed substrate comprises an oxidation catalyst and the outlet zone comprises a second SCR catalyst; and (c) the counterflow urea injector directs urea toward the outlet zone of the catalyzed substrate so that at least a portion of the urea contacts the outlet zone prior to contacting the first SCR catalyst.
