Abstract

See full text

An exhaust system component includes stacking features that prevents binding among adjacent components in a stack. The stacking features are arranged along a shell of the exhaust system component, such as along a sidewall extending from a panel of the shell. The stacking features can be arranged to define a gap between opposing surfaces of stacked shells. The stacking features can be in the form of indentations and can be formed in curved portions of the sidewall to conserve material thickness, which can be critical in exhaust system applications. The stacking features can result in a stack of components with uniform spacing among the components of the stack.
