  • EXHAUST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20120023902
    Abstract: An exhaust system for a motor vehicle includes a housing having an inflow funnel defined by an expanding cross sectional area. Received in the housing is an exhaust-gas treatment device which includes a tubular guide element arranged in the inflow funnel and having a curvature with an outer side formed with at least one embossment. The embossment causes a deflection of the exhaust-gas flow and thereby increases a contact time of the exhaust-gas flow with an insert of the exhaust-gas treatment device.
