  • Patent number: 10344658
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust device capable of preventing a silencer from interfering with a component disposed in front of the silencer by allowing the silencer to slide down even when a load is input from a rear of the vehicle. A first tailpipe 34 is provided with an inclined bracket member 37. The inclined bracket member 37 has a sliding contact surface 37b inclined rearward and downward of a vehicle. A pressing portion 44 inclined rearward and downward of the vehicle is provided in an exhaust finisher bracket member 42 attached to an exhaust finisher 40. The pressing portion 44 contacts the sliding contact surface 37b when the exhaust finisher 40 is displaced forward of the vehicle. Then, the pressing portion 44 transmits the load so as to push down a silencer 32 via the sliding contact surface 37b.
