Abstract

A bumper/muffler assembly is provided comprising a bumper; and a muffler having an outer shell. The outer shell may be formed from a non-high impact resistant material, such as a thin metal or a composite material. The muffler may comprise a separate element from the bumper, which is coupled thereto, or is formed as an integral part of the bumper.
