ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an exhaust system with an exhaust which has at least one catalytic converter and at least one silencer, for example two silencers. Each silencer is connected fairly firmly to the vehicle bottom and/or chassis of the motor vehicle by at least one holder, for example two holders. The exhaust contains, upstream of the first silencer and between this and the subsequent, second silencer, at least one deformable line member having a bellows for vibrational decoupling and for compensation of the lengthening of rigid exhaust parts caused during operation by the hot exhaust gas. The holders and the said line members enable the pipes and silencer housings of the exhaust to be made thin-walled and light.
