Abstract

The present invention relates to an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, more preferably of a motor vehicle, with an exhaust gas turbine, with an exhaust pipe, whose inlet is fluidically connected with an outlet of the exhaust gas turbine, with a flange connection for connecting the exhaust gas turbine with the exhaust pipe which comprises a flange fastened to the exhaust pipe and attached to the exhaust gas turbine, and with a shielding apron which is so arranged and/or incorporated in the flange connection that in the operation of the exhaust system it protects a transition region between the flange and the exhaust pipe from direct admission of exhaust gas.
