Patent ID: 10808584

Abstract:
A timbre scaled internal combustion exhaust system includes: an inlet collector including a single entrance duct at a first end of the collector in fluid communication with an exhaust flow from an internal combustion engine and an exit duct at a second end of the collector; a plurality of non-perforated parallel tuning tubes in fluid communication with the plurality of exit ducts of the inlet collector, the plurality of tuning tubes having lengths and diameters selected based on a desired note of the timbre scaled exhaust system; an outlet collector including a plurality of entrance ducts in fluid communication with the at least first and second tuning tubes and a single exit duct in fluid communication with an outlet of the exhaust system. The inlet collector splits the exhaust flow through the plurality of tuning tubes to create individual notes, and wherein the outlet collector combines the split exhaust flow to create a desired sound of internal combustion engine exhaust.
