A valve mechanism is provided to close one of the inlet ports under a low speed engine operation. The valve mechanism has a valve member adapted to seat on the inlet end surface and a swingable arm mounted on the exhaust pipe for moving the valve member. The exhaust pipe is formed with a sidewardly bulged portion where the swingable arm is supported. The swingable arm and the valve member are substantially received in the bulged portion in the open position.
