Abstract
A motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an exhaust system with an exhaust which has two flexible pipe members and at least one casing arranged downstream of said pipe members and belonging to a catalytic converter and/or silencer. The two flexible pipe members have a bellows and define a straight connecting line which passes through said pipe members, for example at least approximately through their centers, and at least approximately intersects a virtual axis about which the engine casing executes swivel movements during operation as a result of changes in power and/or operations of the internal combustion engine. The swivelling movements of the engine casing then cause essentially only bending movements with virtually no changes in length and shear movements of the bellows, so that the latter have a long service life.
