ABSTRACT:
An exhaust system for a V-engine vehicle with enhanced exhaust gas purifying capacity and output performance is provided. In the exhaust system, a second bank offset from a first bank backward in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is mounted in an engine compartment (6) in front of a dash panel (5), and a first catalytic converter (28) is connected to a rear end portion of a first exhaust manifold (27) of the first bank; a second catalytic converter (30) is connected to a rear end portion of a second exhaust manifold (29) of the second bank. Furthermore, an inlet port (28a) of the first catalytic converter (28) is positioned at a frontward portion of the vehicle (1) with respect to an inlet port (30a) of the second catalytic converter (30) and the frontward angle of inclination of the center line of the first catalytic converter (28) is greater than that of the second catalytic converter (30).
