The muffler is an essential part of every type of car. On two-wheelers, however, it disperses flue gases throughout the atmosphere and reduces engine noise to a bearable level. It is occasionally called an exhaust muffler or a muffler. A silencer's main function is to block off noise produced when flue gas rushes past it quickly. Furthermore, the exhaust gases ought to be released into the atmosphere. The primary focus of this work is on two-wheeled vehicle exhaust mufflers. The current exhaust silencer design is subjected to CFD and fluid structure interaction analysis with engine-specific boundary conditions. The specifications will guide the creation of the muffler's design. ANSYS, a finite element analysis tool is used to measure and verify exhaust gas temperatures, velocities, and back pressure. Furthermore, a modal analysis is conducted to figure out how a geometric adaptation affects the fundamental frequency of the system. The actual testing consists of fabricating a customized exhaust silencer and evaluating it for noise and back pressure on a two-wheeler engine test rig.
