    摘要: A vehicle, internal combustion engine, exhaust system, housing includes housing shell areas (10, 12), which are connected together in a folded connection area (32). The folded connection area includes a folded edge area (20, 22), extending along a folded edge longitudinal axis (L), and a plurality of spaced apart crimped sections (24, 26), which extend essentially at right angles to the folded edge longitudinal axis (L) and away from the folded edge area (20, 22) and provide intermediate spaces (28, 30). Some of the crimped sections (24, 26), of one housing shell area mesh with an intermediate space formed between two crimped sections (24, 26) of another housing shell area and overlap the folded edge area (20, 22) of the other housing shell area (10, 12) such that the folded edge area (20, 22) of the other housing shell area (10, 12) is held between the crimped sections (24, 26).
