Abstract
An exhaust system for an off road vehicle includes a main intake pipe running in a generally longitudinal direction on the vehicle, receiving gasses from a first intake pipe for a forward cylinder and from a second intake pipe for a rearward cylinder of an mid-mounted internal combustion engine. A catalytic converter receives gasses from the main intake pipe. Instead of being mounted longitudinally, the catalytic converter extends in a transverse direction, at the rearward end of the exhaust system, behind the axis of the rear wheels. A muffler, located over the axis of the rear wheels, also extends in a transverse direction and receives gasses from the catalytic converter. The muffler outputs the gasses through a tailpipe, which is preferably above and extends wider than the main intake pipe.
