Abstract: An exhaust system probe socket has an essentially hollow cylindrically configured first body, which has a planar circular ring surface on a first end face and a second body with a flat circular ring surface at a first end. The second body has a passage with a diameter that corresponds to or is greater than an internal diameter of the first body. A second end of the second body is configured to make possible a gastight connection of the probe socket to a connection surface by compensating geometric deviations of the connection surface from a plane. The first and second bodies contact one another in an area of a second end face of the first body and of the flat circular ring surface and are welded to one another with a weld seam extending circumferentially around the first body to gastightly connect the bodies to one another.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas-carrying first pipe which is connectable to a first exhaust line of the exhaust system or forms an integral component of the first exhaust line, and an exhaust gas-carrying second pipe which is connectable to a second exhaust line of the exhaust system or forms an integral component of the second exhaust line. To design the muffler to be as compact as possible, a housing of the muffler includes a damper space situated between the pipes and has two longitudinal side walls each formed by a wall section of one of the pipes that is permeable for airborne sound.
