Abstract
An exhaust system having a gasket includes a turbocharger disposed to be rotated by exhaust gas, a warming up catalytic converter through which exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger passes and which purifies the exhaust gas, a connecting pipe disposed between the turbocharger and the warming up catalytic converter and which delivers the exhaust gas, a gasket interposed between an inlet side flange of the connecting pipe and an outlet side flange of the turbocharger, and which seals the exhaust gas, and a stay which connects the warming up catalytic converter to a vehicle body, and includes an elastically flexible curved line portion formed at one side of the stay.

An exhaust system having a gasket, the exhaust system comprising:
- a turbocharger disposed to be rotated by exhaust gas;
- a warming up catalytic converter through which exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger passes and which purifies the exhaust gas;
- a connecting pipe, disposed between the turbocharger and the warming up catalytic converter, which delivers the exhaust gas;
- a gasket, interposed between an inlet side flange of the connecting pipe and an outlet side flange of the turbocharger, which seals the exhaust gas;
- and
- a stay which connects the warming up catalytic converter to a vehicle body, and includes an elastically flexible curved line portion formed at one side of the stay,
- wherein a stepped protrusion, which protrudes toward the outlet side flange of the turbocharger, is formed at a central portion of the inlet side flange of the connecting pipe through which the exhaust gas flows,
- a stepped groove, which corresponds to the stepped protrusion, is formed in the outlet side flange of the turbocharger, and
- the gasket is interposed at a portion except for the stepped protrusion and the stepped groove.
A vehicle having an exhaust system comprising:
- an engine disposed in a vehicle body to generate torque by combusting fuel;
- a turbocharger disposed to be rotated by exhaust gas discharged from the engine;
- a warming up catalytic converter through which exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger passes and which purifies the exhaust gas;
- a connecting pipe, disposed between the turbocharger and the warming up catalytic converter, which delivers the exhaust gas;
- a gasket, interposed between an inlet side flange of the connecting pipe and an outlet side flange of the turbocharger, which seals the exhaust gas;
- and
- a stay which connects the warming up catalytic converter to the vehicle body, and has an elastically flexible curved line portion formed at one side of the stay,
- wherein a stepped protrusion, which protrudes toward the outlet side flange of the turbocharger, is formed at a central portion of the inlet side flange of the connecting pipe through which the exhaust gas flows,
- a stepped groove, which corresponds to the stepped protrusion, is formed in the outlet side flange of the turbocharger, and
- the gasket is interposed at a portion except for the stepped protrusion and the stepped groove.
