A muffler device, in one preferred embodiment, having four barriers therein.
Each
barrier functions to form an within which the exhaust stream can be partitioned
and redirected. Eventually, the exhaust streams are once again recombined and expelled
from the muffler. The partitioning and reassembly of the exhaust streams provides
sound attenuation while increasing the horsepower of the engine and without resulting
in any build up of unignited fuel.
