  • Patent number: 8769930
    Abstract: A motor vehicle exhaust system, including at least one pollutant-removing member, for example a catalytic converter or a particle filter, including a first outlet and connected to an exhaust line of an associated vehicle, and a second outlet for collecting exhaust gases with a view to recycling the same, the second outlet being connected to an inlet pipe of an exchanger for cooling exhaust gases, an outlet pipe of which is connected to a housing that receives a valve for controlling exhaust gases. The housing of the control valve includes a sole plate to be attached to an end sole plate of the outlet pipe of the exchanger, and the housing is attached directly onto a body of the exchanger.
