ABSTRACT:
An exhaust pipe structure including paired separate exhaust pipes configured so that the paired separate exhaust pipes are supported in a vehicle provided horizontally in a manner such that a vertical load is applied from a first exhaust pipe, by a moment that turns the first exhaust pipe about an axis connecting two support members of the first exhaust pipe due to a weight of the first exhaust pipe, to a universal joint, and a vertical load is applied from a second exhaust pipe, by a moment that turns the second exhaust pipe about an axis connecting two support members of the second exhaust pipe due to a weight of the second exhaust pipe, to the universal joint. The vertical loads are approximately the same magnitude and act in opposite directions to combine to be substantially zero.
