A noise attenuation device for a vehicle exhaust system is provided. The
device includes an exhaust pipe having a passageway for receiving exhaust
gas pulses from an engine. The device further includes a plurality of
vanes extending from an inner surface of the passageway and spaced apart
from one another. The vanes are configured to reduce turbulence in the
exhaust gas pulses flowing past the vanes to reduce noise at a downstream
outlet of the exhaust pipe.
