An exhaust system is provided for an automotive engine of vehicles with exhaust conduits having a textured surface. The system comprises a plurality of cylinder exhaust ports, and an exhaust manifold including a plurality of exhaust runners fluidly coupled to the plurality of cylinder exhaust ports, where at least one exhaust runner of the plurality of exhaust runners includes a plurality of steps or dimples protruding outward from the exhaust runner. In one example, the system promotes an effective mixing of oxygen and hydrocarbons in the exhaust stream to reduce engine emissions.

A thermoelectric generator for a vehicle utilizing heat of exhaust gas discharged from an engine of the vehicle includes a heat exchange unit, through which a coolant circulates, a thermoelectric generation unit for converting thermal energy of exhaust gas into electrical energy, a first flow passage for guiding the exhaust gas to pass through the heat exchange unit, a second flow passage for guiding the exhaust gas to pass through the thermoelectric generation unit, a third flow passage for guiding the exhaust gas to bypass the heat exchange unit and the thermoelectric generation unit without passing therethrough, a first valve for opening or closing the first flow passage, a second valve for selectively opening or closing the second flow passage and the third flow passage, and a driving unit for operating the first valve and the second valve by a single power source.

First to fourth exhaust passages are provided in a raw blank of a cylinder block, which can be used for both a first exhaust route and a second exhaust route, one of which is selected for use as an exhaust passage. In the first exhaust route, a fifth exhaust passage couples between opening ends of the first and second exhaust passages and is formed in a separate member from the cylinder block, exhaust gas is allowed to flow via the fourth, first, fifth, second, and third exhaust passages, and a catalyst is placed in the exhaust passages. In the second exhaust route, a communication hole is provided in a partition wall between the fourth exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage while the opening ends of the first and second exhaust passages are closed, and the exhaust gas is allowed to flow via the fourth, second, and third exhaust passages.

An outboard motor has a powerhead that causes rotation of a driveshaft, a steering housing located below the powerhead, wherein the driveshaft extends from the powerhead into the steering housing; and a lower gearcase located below the steering housing and supporting a propeller shaft that is coupled to the driveshaft so that rotation of the driveshaft causes rotation of the propeller shaft. The lower gearcase is steerable about a steering axis with respect to the steering housing and powerhead.

An exhaust gas purification device is disposed in an exhaust passage of an engine disposed in an engine room defined in a hull, and is configured to remove at least a nitrogen oxide from an exhaust gas discharged from the engine. The exhaust gas purification device includes: a catalytic part including a selective reducing catalyst for selectively reducing the nitrogen oxide; a reducing agent addition device configured to add a reducing agent to the exhaust gas on an upstream side of the catalytic part in a flow direction of the exhaust gas; and a casing configured to contain the catalytic part. At least a part of the casing is disposed inside the engine room.

A vehicle body side structure is provided where an exhaust apparatus is located on the vehicle-width-direction outer side relative to a side sill without widening the vehicle. Embodiments include an internal combustion engine equipped on the front side of a partition wall defining a front edge of a vehicle cabin space, an exhaust apparatus through which exhaust gas exhausted from the internal combustion engine passes, and a side sill extending along the vehicle front-rear direction on the side of a floor forming a floor surface of the vehicle cabin space. The side sill has a recess having a cross section recessed toward the vehicle-width-direction inner side from the vehicle-width-direction outer side in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the vehicle front-rear direction and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and an exhaust system member provided in the exhaust apparatus is disposed at the recess.

A high-frequency resonator forming a flow passage for an air induction system, includes an outer shell having a cylindrical inner surface at a first radial distance from a centerline, and an inner shell positioned within the outer shell and forming a volume therebetween. The inner shell includes a first cylindrical outer surface positioned at a second radial distance from the centerline, the first cylindrical outer surface forming an inner surface of the volume and having a first plurality of resonator openings, and a cylindrical support structure having a second cylindrical outer surface positioned at a third radial distance from the axial centerline, and having hydrocarbon adsorber openings. The resonator includes a hydrocarbon adsorber positioned over the cylindrical support structure, such that an inner surface of the hydrocarbon adsorber is exposed to the flow passage through the hydrocarbon adsorber openings. The third radial distance is less than the first radial distance.

The exhaust gas post-processing device includes: an exhaust gas post-processing unit into which an exhaust gas is introduced; a drain pipe connected to a lower portion of the exhaust gas post-processing unit; and a junction member. The junction member includes an introduction flow path, one end of which is an introduction port connected to the drain pipe, the introduction flow path extending in a horizontal direction from the introduction port, and the other end of the introduction flow path being an introduction-side gas vent hole opened to an outside. A discharge flow path is connected to a lower portion of the introduction flow path, that extends, in the horizontal direction, in a direction intersecting the introduction flow path, and an end portion of the discharge flow path being a discharge port opened to the outside. The exhaust gas post-processing device further includes a drainage pipe connected to the discharge port.

A system for controlling exhaust flow from an internal combustion engine powering a marine propulsion device includes a primary exhaust conduit having an upstream end receiving exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine and a downstream end discharging exhaust gas to a body of water via a gearcase housing. A bypass exhaust conduit has an upstream end receiving exhaust gas from the primary exhaust conduit and a downstream end discharging exhaust gas from a bypass outlet of the marine propulsion device. A bypass valve is selectively openable to allow exhaust gas to flow through the bypass conduit. A control module is in signal communication with the bypass valve. The control module opens the bypass valve to divert the exhaust gas through the bypass conduit and out the bypass outlet in response to selection of a control mode of the marine propulsion device other than a default lever control mode.
