In one exemplary embodiment, an exhaust dilution and dispersion device for a vehicle can include a generally elongate tailpipe including an inlet section capable of being in exhaust receiving communication with an exhaust system of a vehicle. The tailpipe further includes an outlet section in exhaust receiving communication with the inlet section. The outlet section can also include a downwardly directed exhaust deflection portion and an exhaust outlet in exhaust dispersing communication with the surroundings external to the device. The exhaust outlet can include a generally elongate exhaust dispersion opening extending in a lengthwise direction along the tailpipe. At least a portion of the exhaust outlet can be coextensive with the downwardly directed exhaust deflecting portion and a major portion of the exhaust dispersed from the outlet can have a transverse component.

We claim: 1. A method of cooling exhaust from a vehicle, comprising:receiving a flow of exhaust from an exhaust system of a vehicle;downwardly deflecting at least a portion of the flow of exhaust;separating at least a portion of the downwardly deflected flow of exhaust into at least two downwardly and laterally outwardly flowing exhaust portions, and increasing the separation of the at least two exhaust portions in the exhaust flow direction; anddispersing the flow of exhaust away from the vehicle, wherein dispersing the flow of exhaust comprises downwardly dispersing the flow of exhaust and laterally dispersing at least a major portion of the flow of exhaust.
