An exhaust gas filter is formed of ceramic honeycomb structure and provided with large number of passages defined by porous thin separator walls. The passages are composed of exhaust gas inlet passages and outlet passages which are alternately arranged. The honeycomb structure is further provided with exhaust gas blowing passages through which one part of exhaust gases entering into the inlet passages is discharged, without passing through minute pores of the porous thin separator walls, resulting in reducing the pressure loss of the exhaust gases.

An exhaust gas filter for collecting carbon particles in the exhaust gases discharged from internal combustion engines, comprising: a ceramic monolith having grid-shaped separator walls defining a large number of parallel exhaust gas passages, the cross sectional area of said passages being substantially the same; said separator walls having a large number of minute pores; said exhaust gas passages being composed of inlet passages which are open at one end of said filter and are closed at the other end thereof by cover means, and outlet passages which are closed by cover means at said one end of said filter and are open at said the other end thereof; said inlet passages being communicated with said outlet passages through said minute pores of said separator walls; and said separator walls further having a large number of exhaust gas blowing pores of a diameter not less than 100mwhich diameter is larger than said minute pores and the total volume of said blowing pores is 1 to 20% of the total volume of all of said pores, whereby one portion of the exhaust gases enterting said inlet passages blows through said blowing pores without passing through said minute pores formed in said separator walls.
