Abstract
The exhaust pipe includes a front section, a rear section, and a midway section. The front section and the rear section extend along a fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle. The midway section is located between the front section and the rear section. The midway section extends in a lateral direction of the vehicle. Further, the midway section has at least one bent portion, which is bent to have a corner oriented forward or rearward of the vehicle. As a result, stress applied to the exhaust pipe is reduced.
