Abstract
An engine assembly for a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine operating on a two-stroke engine cycle. A compressor is in fluid communication with an intake port of at least one cylinder of the engine to pump air into the engine. An exhaust pipe is in fluid communication with an exhaust port of the at least one cylinder. The exhaust pipe has an inlet and an outlet defining a length of the exhaust pipe therebetween. A diameter of the exhaust pipe increases along a portion of the length of the exhaust pipe in a flow direction of the exhaust pipe. The diameter of the exhaust pipe does not decrease along the length of the exhaust pipe in the flow direction of the exhaust pipe.
