Abstract
An exhaust system of an engine, wherein the intake system faces the cooling fan placed at the front of the vehicle while the exhaust system faces the dash panel placed at the rear of the vehicle, is provided with air from the cooling fan and air from the outside due to the vehicle motion through a deflector and space formed below a portion of the exhaust system, thereby preventing heat damage of the engine exhaust system and deterioration of the appearance of the vehicle, and minimizing the air drag coefficient of the vehicle.
