Abstract: An exhaust manifold for a four-cylinder internal
combustion engine, including four branches (5,6,7,8), a downstream
exhaust pipe (9) connected with the four branches, and a
partition wall (10,110) dividing an exhaust path in the downstream
exhaust pipe (9) into first and second passages (11,12) each having a
semicircular section. Each of the first and second passages (11,12)
is connected with two of the branches (5,6,7,8) which are connected
with two of the four engine cylinders (#1,#2,#3,#4) having non-continuous
order of ignition and communicated with first and second
quarter-circular regions (A,B,C,D) in the semicircular section of the
passages (11,12), respectively. An air-fuel ratio sensor (16) mounted to
the downstream exhaust pipe (9) projects into both of the
passages (11,12) through a cutout (18) formed on one side of the
partition wall (10,110) in a width direction perpendicular to an
axial direction of the downstream exhaust pipe (9). A
communication portion (21,22,23,24) formed in the partition wall (10,110) fluidly
communicates the passages (11,12) with each other.
