Exhaust system with pipe element

The present invention relates to a flexible conduit member (14) for an exhaust system (4) of an internal combustion engine (1), in particular a motor vehicle, through which a ring-shaped or helically corrugated, an exhaust gas stream (8) metal bellows (15). The risk of urea and / or urea derivative deposits in the metal bellows (15) is reduced by a tapered flow guide (16) which can be traversed by the exhaust gas stream (8) which tapers in the flow direction of exhaust gas flow (8) and in a the inlet region (17) of the metal bellows (15) detached protrudes. The invention thus proposes a combination of a flexible conduit element (14) and an integrated therein flow guiding body (16).
