Abstract
In order to obtain optimum absorption and compensation of relative movements in an exhaust gas system while at the same time avoiding a transmission of movement and the occurrence of a resonance phenomena, a conduit element is proposed having a bellows and a metallic braided or knit jacket. The bellows is fashioned as a highly flexible bellows with an all around absorption of movement. The jacket is applied to the bellows so that the jacket solely follows substantially the wave crests of the bellows.
