Abstract

A diverter is provided in the present invention, which is of low cost and which is effective in more evenly distributing exhaust gasses passing from a small diameter upstream exhaust gas pipe section (42) into a much larger diameter catalytic converter assembly (20). The diverter includes a diverter element (70) and mounting brackets (72). The diverter element has a central hole (82) and has conical walls with an included angle (G) of at least 70 DEG, the conical walls having a plurality of holes (90). The large conical angle (G) of the diverter effectively directs exhaust gases to the periphery of the large diameter catalytic converter but blocks a radially intermediate portion of the catalyst, while the holes in the conical diverter walls allow sufficient exhaust gases to reach the radially intermediate portion of the catalyst.
