Abstract: An exhaust system structure and method comprising two or more silencers which are placed in series and are each provided with a tubular section, the edges of which are in each case attached to a transverse plate which marks the end of the section in question, and each tubular section is provided with sound-damping internal parts, two tubular sections with different cross-sections being mounted one behind the other, making use of a transverse plate, the external dimensions of which are related to the cross-sectional dimensions of the tubular section with the largest cross-section and provided with an opening, the dimensions of which are related to the cross-sectional dimensions of the tubular section with the smallest cross-section, in which exhaust system the transverse plate is attached to the edges of the two tubular sections by means of seamed roll joints.
