Abstract
An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust system includes at least one main exhaust path connected to at least one cylinder, an exhaust recirculation path that is branched out from the main exhaust path so that part of exhaust gas is recirculated to an inlet system, a bypass that is branched out from the exhaust recirculation path in which the bypass has a higher path resistance than that of the exhaust recirculation path and a bypass catalytic converter that is provided in the bypass.
