A muffler structure capable of suppressing generation of abnormal noise in
the muffler even when the outer and the inner tubes expand thermally.
Provided is a double-pipe muffler structure including an inner tube and
an outer tube. In the muffler structure, an annular front step portion
and an annular rear step portion are formed in the inner tube, while the
