Exhaust system for a drive unit formed by a transmission and an engine

An exhaust system is provided which is intended for a power unit formed by the transmission and the internal-combustion engine which is installed into a motor vehicle having a body. The exhaust system, which has a muffler constructed as an oblong pipe body, is connected with the internal-combustion engine and is disposed by means of elastic elements. For achieving a defined advantageous vibration behavior of the exhaust system, a suspension arrangement is provided on the muffler, which suspension arrangement comprises the elastic elements, is applied to different wall areas of the muffler and is held on the transmission and/or the internal-combustion engine of the power unit by fastening devices, and preferably independently of the vehicle body.
