The invention relates to a method for fastening an exhaust gas converter module () to an internal combustion engine () of a motor vehicle, wherein the exhaust gas converter module () is first connected to a pipe section of the exhaust gas system arranged upstream in the flow direction of the exhaust gas and is then pivoted about a pivot axis (S), wherein a two-part module bracket () engages with an engine bracket () and is coupled with the engine mount () in this installation position by a screw connection. The invention relates to a corresponding device having an engine bracket and a module bracket ().

Method and device for fastening an exhaust gas converter module

In a method of making an exhaust gas collector, a collector housing is made from a tubular blank, and subsequently, an inlet duct is formed through a widening process to provide a substantially rectangular cross section with rounded narrow sides. The inlet duct is provided with a head flange. At the outlet side, the collector housing is necked by a press-forming process so as to shape an outlet duct having a substantially circular cross section which is reduced in size compared to the cross section of the collector housing. Attached to the outlet duct is an end flange.
