A pipe component has a casing embodied as a folded bellows with folds. A tubular support body has an outer circumference and a length extension in a direction of a center line of the tubular support body. The tubular support body is embedded in the casing and supports the casing. The tubular support body has at least one stabilization element and the at least one stabilization element has segments that are axially spaced apart and at least partially extend circumferentially. The segments are connected by one or a plurality of hinges, respectively, along the length extension of the tubular support body. The hinges are arranged in the folds of the folded bellows of the casing.
