Summary:To provide an exhaust system ( 100 ) for an internal combustion engine having a housing ( 10 ) in which there are provided at least one exhaust inlet port ( 15 b) and another exhaust discharge port ( 15 a), and a catalyst element ( 22 ), which is disposed within the housing ( 10 ) of the exhaust system ( 100 ) for purifying the exhaust of the internal combustion engine in such a manner that a substantial part of the exhaust at least is caused to flow through the catalyst element ( 22 ), that is readily manufacturable at a low cost and still allows for purification of the entire exhaust by the catalyst element without causing power loss to the internal combustion engine, it is suggested that the exhaust gases ( 27 ) alternately flow through the catalyst element ( 22 ) through an exhaust conducting means ( 17 ).
