Abstract
A plenum is provided upstream from a catalyst module and downstream from a plurality of exhaust ports of a marine engine. The plenum is provided with a cross-sectional area that induces exhaust gas to slow as it passes from the plurality of exhaust ports into the plenum. This slowing of the velocity of exhaust gas improves the probability that the exhaust gas will be more evenly distributed across the inlet surface of the catalyst module.
