Abstract:

To improve warm-up performance of a catalyst device when exhaust gas temperature is in a low temperature range, and suppress thermal degradation of the catalyst device when exhaust gas temperature is in a high temperature range.

An exhaust pipe 20 is arranged between an internal combustion engine and the catalyst device for purifying exhaust gas. The exhaust pipe 20 has a first route R1, a second route R2 defined in the first route R1, and a valve system 33 for opening and closing the first route R1 and the second route R2.
