Exhaust system for internal combustion engines

摘要

An exhaust system for internal combustion engines includes at least two exhaust passages, each passage communicated with at least one branch exhaust passage of an exhaust manifold communicating exhaust ports of a multiple-cylinder engine, and a confluent exhaust passage disposed downstream of said at least two exhaust passages, said confluent exhaust passage including a confluent point for converging downstream ends of said at least two exhaust passages. The exhaust system also includes a communication passage substantially parallel with the at least two exhaust passages and a valve disposed in the communication passage, for allowing a portion of exhaust gas flow to bypass said confluent point only when the engine is within a predetermined high engine revolution range.
