Abstract

In an exhaust system, particularly for two-stroke cycle internal combustion engines, at least that portion which adjoins the internal combustion engine consists of two joined shell sections made of sheet metal and contains a catalytic converter. In order to simplify the manufacture and to ensure that the gas dynamics will not adversely be affected, the catalytic converter is constituted by a central partition, which extends between the sheet metal shell sections in the direction of flow of the exhaust gases and is provided with a catalytic coating and is optionally apertured.
