Claims4
An exhaust system of a vehicle used for a parallel multiple cylinder engine in which a plurality of cylinders are aligned in a vehicle width direction, comprising:
- an exhaust manifold that is connected to a plurality of exhaust ports formed in a front end surface of a cylinder head of the engine with respect to a vehicle traveling direction and that extends horizontally in a vehicle width direction along the front end surface of the cylinder head;
- and
- an exhaust pipe including a front end part connected to a flange positioned at an exhaust downstream side of the exhaust manifold, a first curved part bent rearward from the front end part, and a first straight line part extending horizontally rearward starting at the first curved part, wherein a level of the first straight line part is located at a position equal to a level of the exhaust ports.
