A V-type engine in which exhaust pipe arrangement is easily performed and purification of exhaust gas can be performed by a single catalyst. Cylinders where pistons operate are arranged in a V-shape, a crankshaft driven by the driving of the pistons is disposed vertically, exhaust pipes communicating with exhaust openings in the respective banks of a cylinder head are included, rear exhaust pipes in the respective banks are merged outside on a side of the crankshaft, and a catalyst holder that holds a catalyst is provided in a merge portion of the rear exhaust pipes. Since the rear exhaust pipes in the respective banks are merged and the catalyst holder is provided in this merge portion, exhaust gas from each bank can be purified by the single catalyst, so that the number of catalysts installed is reduced to thus be able to reduce manufacturing cost.
