An exhaust device includes a first exhaust pipe, a second exhaust pipe, and a third exhaust pipe. The first exhaust pipe is comprised of a pipe member. The second exhaust pipe and the third exhaust pipe are comprised of a tubular member including a merging tubular portion and a downstream tubular portion. In the merging tubular portion, exhaust gas to be discharged from an exhaust port of the second cylinder and exhaust gas to be discharged from an exhaust port of the third cylinder are merged. The merging tubular portion is comprised of combining a plurality of plate members, at least a part of which is formed by press working. A distal end of the first exhaust pipe is disposed inside the downstream tubular portion. The downstream tubular portion is offset on the side of the first cylinder with respect to a center in a cylinder array direction.
