An exhaust gas purifying apparatus is described that has an exhaust pipe divided into at least two branches each connected to a different cylinder or cylinders. Each of the exhaust pipe branches is further connected to a secondary air supply tube to intermittently supply secondary air upstream of a three-way catalyst disposed in the branch thereby to vary periodically within a range the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gases flowing into the three-way catalyst.
