This patent describes a combination exhaust processor and exhaust manifold for mounting in an engine having serially arranged exhaust ports. The combination comprises: means for mounting the substrate means within the manifold housing to position the exterior side wall of the substrate means in close proximity to the inlet means to introduce the combustion product into the manifold housing in a direction toward the exterior side wall of the substrate means; and means for conducting combustion product from the inlet means of the manifold housing to the inlet of the substrate means for treatment therein. The conducting means include means for distributing the combustion product about the substrate means to cause at least a portion of the combustion product to flow in a tangential direction in relation to the exterior side wall of the substrate means.
