A snowmobile is provided that includes rearward portion comprising at least one vehicle component (e.g., a seat, or a fuel tank). The snowmobile also includes an exhaust pipe, a radiator, a fan, and a duct. The exhaust pipe extends from an engine compartment in a forward portion to the rearward portion of the snowmobile. The radiator is positioned in the engine compartment. The fan is positioned near the radiator and the duct is provided on a rear side of the fan. The duct extends from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile. The fan and the duct cause air to pass through the radiator and to be discharged outside of the engine compartment. The duct is located between the exhaust pipe and the at least one vehicle component.

What is claimed is: 1. A snowmobile configured to be drive by a track belt, comprising: a forward portion defining an engine compartment and a rearward portion comprising at least one vehicle component; an engine positioned in the engine compartment; an exhaust pipe extending above the track belt from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile; a heat exchanger positioned in the engine compartment; and a fan positioned near the heat exchanger and a duct provided on a rear side of the fan, the duct having a forward portion having an opening disposed within the engine compartment and above a vertical projection of a top portion of the engine, the forward portion being positioned in the engine compartment, the duct extending downward behind the opening along a rear portion of the engine and extending from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile, the fan and the duct causing air to pass through the heat exchanger and to be discharged outside of the engine compartment, wherein the duct is located between the exhaust pipe and the at least one vehicle component. 2. The snowmobile of claim 1, further comprising an upper frame portion above which the at least one vehicle component is positioned and a duct main body configured to be positioned above the upper frame portion, the duct being defined at least partially between the upper frame portion and the duct main body. 3. The snowmobile of claim 2, wherein the duct main body comprises a U-shaped portion that at least partially defines the duct. 4. The snowmobile of claim 2, wherein the duct main body further comprises a storage portion comprising a recess that opens upwardly. 5. The snowmobile of claim 4, wherein the storage portion is provided on one lateral side of the duct main body and an air passage portion is provided in or on the other side part of the duct main body, the air passage portion defining at least a portion of the duct, the exhaust pipe being disposed below the air passage portion. 6. The snowmobile of claims 1, further comprising a vehicle body cover that covers at least a forward portion of the engine compartment, the vehicle body cover comprising an outside air intake port, wherein the heat exchanger is positioned in an upper portion of the engine compartment at a location off-set from a rearward projection of the air intake port. 7. The snowmobile of claim 1, further comprising securing means for mounting the heat exchanger to a front frame portion of the snowmobile. 8. The snowmobile of claim 7, wherein the securing means permits access to be provided to at least one component in the engine compartment without the use of any tools. 9. The snowmobile of claim 1, further comprising a securing means comprising a hinge member attached to one side of the heat exchanger and an elastic member attached to another side of the heat exchanger. 10. The snowmobile of claim 9, wherein the hinge member is a first hinge member and further comprising a second hinge member and a hook coupled with the front frame portion, the first and second hinge portions configured to be engaged to rotatably support the heat exchanger and the hook configured to engage the elastic member whereby a tension force is transmitted through the elastic member to the heat exchanger and to the frame portion. 11. A snowmobile configured to be driven by a track belt, comprising: a forward portion defining an engine compartment and a rearward portion comprising at least one vehicle component; an engine positioned in the engine compartment; an exhaust pipe extending above the track belt from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile; a heat exchanger positioned in the engine compartment; and a fan positioned near the heat exchanger and a duct provided on a rear side of the fan, the duct having a forward portion having an opening disposed above a vertical projection of a top portion of the engine, the forward portion being positioned in the engine compartment, the duct extending downward behind the opening along a rear portion of the engine and extending from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile, the fan and the duct causing air to pass through the heat exchanger and to be discharged outside of the engine compartment, wherein the duct is located between the exhaust pipe and the at least one vehicle component; and a muffler coupled with a downstream portion of the exhaust pipe, the duct being configured to discharge air adjacent to the muffler. 12. The snowmobile of claim 11, further comprising an upper frame portion above which the at least one vehicle component is positioned and a duct main body configured to be positioned above the upper frame portion, the duct being defined at least partially between the upper frame portion and the duct main body. 13. The snowmobile of claim 12, wherein the duct main body further comprises a storage portion comprising a recess that opens upwardly. 14. The snowmobile of claim 13, wherein the storage portion is provided on one lateral side of the duct main body and an air passage portion is provided in or on the other side part of the duct main body, the air passage portion defining at least a portion of the duct, the exhaust pipe being disposed below the air passage portion. 15. The snowmobile of claims 14, further comprising a vehicle body cover that covers at least a forward portion of the engine compartment, the vehicle body cover comprising an outside air intake port, wherein the heat exchanger is positioned in an upper portion of the engine compartment at a location off-set from a rearward projection of the air intake port. 16. The snowmobile of claim 15, further comprising securing means for mounting the heat exchanger to a front frame portion of the snowmobile. 17. A snowmobile configured to be drive by a track belt, comprising: a forward portion defining an engine compartment and a rearward portion comprising at least one vehicle component and a passenger seat; an exhaust pipe extending above the track belt from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile; a heat exchanger positioned in the engine compartment; and a fan positioned near the heat exchanger and a duct provided on a rear side of the fan, the duct having a first portion coupled with the heat exchanger and a second portion separable from the first portion, the second portion of the duct extending from the engine compartment to the rearward portion of the snowmobile at least partially beneath the passenger seat, the fan and the duct causing air to pass through the heat exchanger and to be discharged outside of the engine compartment, wherein the duct is located between the exhaust pipe and the at least one vehicle component; wherein a securing means is attached to first and second sides of the heat exchanger. 18. The snowmobile of claim 17, further comprising a first hinge member, a second hinge member and a hook coupled with the front frame portion, the first and second hinge portions configured to be engaged to rotatably support the heat exchanger and the hook configured to engage the elastic member whereby a tension force is transmitted through the elastic member to the heat exchanger and to the frame portion. 19.
