This has a silencer housing 6 and at least one electro-acoustic converter 7, which is arranged in the silencer housing 6. Furthermore, a connection pipe 8 is provided, via which the silencer 5 is acoustically connected to the exhaust pipe 3. To this end, the connection pipe 8 connects the silencer housing 6 fluidically to the exhaust pipe 3. To do this, the connection pipe 8 defines a sound propagation path 9, which is indicated by arrows, is formed in the connection ...
