Abstract: An exhaust after-treatment system for treating an exhaust produced by an engine, including an exhaust passage in communication with the engine; an injector for dosing an exhaust treatment fluid into the exhaust passage, a mixing device positioned downstream from the injector, the mixing device operable to intermingle the exhaust treatment fluid and the exhaust; an irregularly-shaped exhaust treatment substrate positioned downstream from the mixing device; and a dispersion device positioned between the mixing device and the irregularly-shaped exhaust treatment substrate. The dispersion device includes a plurality of dispersion members each being operable to direct an exhaust stream flowing through the dispersion device into a plurality of different directions to disperse the exhaust flow over substantially an entire surface of the irregularly-shaped exhaust treatment substrate.

Abstract: An exhaust system and a method of joining components of an exhaust system comprises obtaining an outer sleeve, a first pipe with a first end, and a second pipe with a second end. The method includes inserting the first end of the first pipe within the outer sleeve to define a first overlap, inserting the second end of the second pipe within the outer sleeve to define a second overlap, and radially inwardly deforming the outer sleeve and the first pipe at the first overlap. The outer sleeve and the second pipe are radially inwardly deformed at the second overlap. The outer sleeve and the first pipe as well as the outer sleeve and the second pipe are pressed into engagement with one another along the length of first overlap and the second overlap to define a pipe joint.
