Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2141330A1] An exhaust pipe (20) into which an exhaust gas from a single cylinder engine (50) flows is provided with a three way catalyst (90). The exhaust pipe includes a first pipe (42) inserted into a muffler (30) and a second pipe (44) extending toward the downstream side from the first pipe (42) within the muffler (30). A narrowed portion (47) having an inner diameter smaller than that of a cylindrical portion (46) of the first pipe (42) is provided in a downstream-end opening of the first pipe (42). The narrowed portion (47) is inserted into an upstream-end opening of the second pipe (44). A first expansion chamber (70) that integrally encloses the outer periphery and the downstream-end opening of the second pipe (44) is formed within the muffler (30). A plurality of holes (45) are formed in a distributed manner in a region, except a downstream region, of a peripheral surface of the second pipe (44). The length in the axial direction of the downstream region is not less than 1/3 times the inner diameter of the second pipe (44).
