Abstract: An exhaust gas heater for an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine includes a carrier and a heating conductor supported on the carrier. The heating conductor includes a heating region arranged on an axial side of the carrier, wherein the heating conductor is electrically uninsulated in its heating region at least in part. A holding arrangement has at least one holding unit which holds the heating conductor on the carrier in its heating region. The holding unit includes at least one electrically conducting holding block which is in contact with the heating conductor in an electrically uninsulated region of the heating region. The holding block is electrically insulated with respect to the carrier.

Abstract: A connection unit for an exhaust gas heater in an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine includes an electrically conducting connection element, elongated in the direction of a connection element longitudinal axis (L). The connection element has an inner connection region for connection to a heating conductor and an outer connection region for connection to an electrical supply. A carrier arrangement surrounds the connection element and an insulating arrangement insulates the connection element with respect to the carrier arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fastening at least one component of an exhaust system to at least one member of a motor vehicle, including a component leg that is designed for rigid fastening to the at least one component of the exhaust system and one member leg that is designed for rigid fastening to the at least one member of the motor vehicle. A coupling body with or made of an elastomer is provided, the coupling body being connected on the one hand fixedly to the component leg and on the other hand being fixedly connected to the member leg.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sound absorber for an exhaust system having a Y-shaped feed piece arranged upstream from the sound absorber, combining two exhaust gas-carrying lines to form a single line entering into the sound absorber whereby the Y-shaped feed piece and the sound absorber are assembled from a common bottom shell and a common top shell. The invention also relates to an exhaust system equipped with the sound absorber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst for an internal combustion engine, particularly of a motor vehicle, with a housing, which is assembled from at least two housing portions, telescopically inserted one into another in the throughflow direction of the housing, which is assembled from two housing portions telescopically inserted one into the other. A first monolith is mounted in a first housing portion, and a second monolith is mounted in a second housing portion. In an insertion region, an outer end section of the second housing portion and an inner end section of the first housing portion inserted into the outer end section mutually overlap. A transition zone, in which the monoliths, are spaced apart from one another in the throughflow direction, is formed within the insertion region.
