Abstract
A flexible line element, particularly for exhaust pipes of internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, is characterized in that it has at least two interconnected, metal bellows provided with cylindrical joining ends and at least one of the bellows is helically corrugated. This and/or the bellows are telescoped and two bellows are connected at only one of their joining ends. A line element constructed in this way is on the one hand torsion-soft, so that it does not transfer any torsional stresses to adjacent components, and on the other is also stable in the case of high torsional stresses.
