Abstract: An exhaust manifold for connecting an exhaust pipe with at least one cylinder of an internal combustion engine, and a shell manifold as at least one component of the exhaust manifold. The at least one shell manifold (3, 9, 17, 31, 38) is comprised of at least two shape shells (4, 14, 10, 20, 18, 28, 32, 34, 39). The shape shells are joined to each other by mechanical interlocking. The shell manifold exhibits at least one inlet (5, 11, 19, 35, 46). The shell manifold (3, 9, 17, 31, 38) is so designed, that the at least one inlet (5, 11, 19, 35, 46) communicates with the at least one cylinder.
