A tuned exhaust system for small two cylinder engines, the exhaust system including a pair of exhaust passage through which exhaust gasses pass. The exhaust passages are dimensioned to providing a tuning effect to the exhaust gasses for enhanced engine performance. The exhaust passages are not straight and elongated, but rather are sprialed, scrolled, coiled, or otherwise folded upon themselves at least twice. In this manner, the exhaust passages may be housed at least in part within a muffler having a significantly reduced overall size or profile, such that the muffler may be used in small engines.

1. A muffler for a two cylinder internal combustion engine, comprising:a housing having two muffler inlets respectively connected to the engine cylinders, and at least one muffler outlet; two exhaust passages disposed within said housing, one associated with each inlet, said exhaust passages each folded upon themselves at least twice and shaped to provide an exhaust tuning effect to increase the output power of the engine, each said exhaust passage shaped as a spiral, including an exhaust passage inlet communicating with a respective said muffler inlet, and an exhaust passage outlet communicating with a respective said muffler outlet; and a pair of tubes disposed within said muffler housing around which said spiral exhaust passages are respectively disposed, said exhaust passage outlets in communication with a respective said tube, each tube in communication with a muffler outlet. 2. The muffler of claim 1, wherein the cross-sectional area of said exhaust passage inlet is less than the cross sectional area of said exhaust passage outlet.3. The muffler of claim 1, wherein the cross-sectional area of said exhaust passage increases from said exhaust passage inlet to said exhaust passage outlet.4. The muffler of claim 1, wherein each said tube includes an end portion communicating with an expansion chamber within said housing, each said expansion chamber communicating with a muffler outlet.5. A muffler for a two cylinder internal combustion engine, comprising:a muffler housing having two inlets in respective communication with the engine cylinders and at least one muffler outlet; two exhaust passages disposed within said muffler housing, each said exhaust passage folded upon itself at least twice, said exhaust passages in respective communication with said inlets and in communication with said at least one outlet, wherein said muffler includes a pair of housing halves connected to one another with a dividing wall therebetween, with one each of said muffler inlet, exhaust passage, and muffler outlet disposed on each side of said dividing wall. 6. The muffler of claim 5, wherein said exhaust passages each have a spiral shape disposed about a central axis, including an exhaust passage inlet in communication with a respective said muffler inlet and an exhaust passage outlet in communication with said at least one muffler outlet.7. The muffler of claim 6, wherein the cross-sectional area of said exhaust passage inlet is less than the cross sectional area of said exhaust passage outlet.8. The muffler of claim 5, wherein said exhaust passages are formed in part of a strip of material wound in a spiral configuration including a plurality of turns, said strip having a plurality of apertures therein for allowing passage of exhaust gas therethrough.9. The muffler of claim 6, wherein said exhaust passages have a common central axis and are disposed in a side-by-side relationship with one another.10. The muffler of claim 5, further including a tube disposed centrally within said muffler housing along said central axis of said exhaust passages, each of said exhaust passage outlets in communication with said tube.11. The muffler of claim 10, wherein said tube includes opposite end portions extending within said muffler housing outwardly of said exhaust passages.12. The muffler of claim 10, wherein said tube includes opposite end portions, one end portion communicating with an enclosed expansion chamber, the other end portion communicating with a muffler outlet.13. A muffler for a two cylinder internal combustion engine, comprising:a muffler housing having two inlets in respective communication with the engine cylinders and at least one muffler outlet; two exhaust passages disposed within said muffler housing, each said exhaust passage folded upon itself at least twice, said exhaust passages in respective communication with said inlets and in communication with said at least one outlet wherein said exhaust passages each have a spiral share disposed about a central axis, including an exhaust passage inlet in communication with a respective said muffler inlet and an exhaust passage outlet in communication with said at least one muffler outlet; and a pair of tubes disposed centrally within said muffler housing along said central axis of said exhaust passages and around which said spiral exhaust passages are respectively disposed, said exhaust passage outlets in communication with a respective said tube, each tube in communication with a muffler outlet.
