Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A silencer ( 1 ) for an exhaust gas installation of an internal combustion engine, particularly of a motor vehicle includes a housing ( 2 ), with a circumferential shell ( 3 ) closed in the peripheral direction ( 5 ) and an end base ( 6 ) at each of two longitudinal ends, spaced apart in an axial direction ( 4 ). A silencer insert ( 15 ) is arranged in the housing ( 2 ) and has an inlet pipe ( 8 ) for exhaust gas and an outlet pipe ( 10 ) for exhaust gas. The shell ( 3 ) has, in the peripheral direction ( 5 ) has at least one inlet shell-segment ( 11 ) and one outlet shell-segment ( 12 ). The inlet shell-segment has at least one inlet opening ( 7 ), into which such an inlet pipe ( 8 ) is inserted from the inside. The outlet shell-segment ( 12 ) has at least one outlet opening ( 9 ) into which such an outlet pipe ( 10 ) is inserted from the inside.
