Abstract

An exhaust line element comprises a valve body, a shutter, a pivot link connecting the shutter to the valve body, an upstream tube, and a downstream tube. At least one first stopper is attached on an inner surface of the valve body. The shutter abuts against the first stopper in the closing off position. The first stopper defines a longitudinal position of at least one of the upstream tube and the downstream tube relative to the valve body.
