Abstract
An engine (1) has first and second cylinder groups (1a) and (1b). The first cylinder group (1a) is connected to a three way (TW) catalyst (8a). The second group (1b) and the TW catalyst (8a) are connected, via an interconnecting duct (13) to an NH.sub.3 adsorbing and oxidizing (NH.sub.3 -AO) catalyst (14a). The first group (1a) performs the rich operation, and the second group (1b) performs the lean operation. In the TW catalyst (8a), NO.sub.x exhausted from the first group (1a) is converted to NH.sub.3, and the NH.sub.3 reduces the NO.sub.x exhausted from the second group (1b) in the NH.sub.3 -AO catalyst (14a). A NO.sub.x occluding and reducing (NO.sub.x -OR) catalyst (11a) is arranged in the exhaust passage between the second group (1b) and the interconnecting duct (13), to thereby suppress the NO.sub.x amount flowing into the NH.sub.3 -AO catalyst (14a).
