[0002] In the National VI stage, the exhaust temperature of automobiles is generally high, and some even reach over 900℃. The high exhaust temperature increases the temperature of automobile chassis parts through heat conduction, convection, radiation, etc., causing parts failure and even the risk of spontaneous combustion. In view of this, heat shields need to be arranged on the exhaust pipes corresponding to important chassis parts to reduce heat damage to the exhaust pipes.

[0003] When the exhaust system suspension layout overlaps with the heat shield, the suspension is usually welded to the exhaust pipe. At this time, the heat shield needs to be drilled to reserve the hook position, which will affect the heat insulation effect of the heat shield. Moreover, when the suspension is far away from the exhaust pipe, the slender suspension will lead to low suspension stiffness, which will affect the NVH performance of the exhaust system.
