The exhaust system has an exhaust with at least one silencer and/or catalytic converter which has a housing having a housing casing with a wall thickness of not more than 1 mm and having housing ends, and metallic pipes which are rigidly connected to the latter and at least one of which has a wall thickness of, likewise, not more than 1 mm. The retaining means for holding the exhaust on the vehicle body have, for each housing end, a metallic retaining member connected to the pipe adjacent to the housing end. The at least one pipe with a wall thickness of not more than 1 mm is surrounded by a sleeve to which the retaining member is fastened, for example by welding or brazing or adhesive bonding. La instalacion de gas de escape tiene un escape (12) con al menos un silenciador (20) y/o catalizador que comprende un cuerpo (26) con una envoltura (26a) del cuerpo con un grosor de material de 1 mm como maximo, y con extremos (26d) del cuerpo. Ademas, conectados rigidamente con los utimos, el escape 12 tiene tubos (21) metalicos de los cuales al menos uno, tambien tiene un grosor de material de 1 mm como, maximo. Los medios de sujecion para sostener el escape (12) en la carcasa del vehiculo comprenden para cada extremo (26d) del cuerpo un elemento (141) de sujecion metalico unido con el tubo, (19) que colinda con el extremo del cuerpo. El al menos un tubo (19) con un grosor de material de 1 mm como maximo esta para esto encerrado por un elemento (150) de refuerzo en forma de casquillo al cual el elemento (141) de sujecion se fija, por ejemplo, mediante soldadura o soldadura fuerte o pegado.
