Abstract (en)
An exhaust structure for a vehicle including a rear cowl (35) covering a vehicle rear portion has a muffler (29) including a first expansion chamber (C1) and a second expansion chamber (C2) partitioned by a partition (65), first and second connecting pipes (67, 68) connecting the expansion chambers, and a tail pipe (69) configured to discharge exhaust gas from the muffler (29). The muffler (29) is covered by the rear cowl (35) such that outlines of the muffler (29) and the rear cowl (35) are each formed such that the width decreases toward the vehicle rear. The tail pipe (69) and the first and second connecting pipes (67, 68) are provided so as to penetrate the partition (65); and the position where the tail pipe (69) penetrates the partition (65) and the positions where the first and second connecting pipes (67, 68) penetrate the partition (65) are vertically offset. This allows the tail pipe to be elongated.
