Abstract

A process is provided for manufacturing an exhaust gas treatment device (2), which has an exhaust gas treatment insert (4), which is clamped in a housing (8) by at least one mounting mat (6) enveloping the insert (4). An individual geometry of the housing (8), which geometry is individually adapted to the particular insert (4) and to the particular mounting mat (6), is determined as a function of the weight of the particular insert (4) and of the particular mounting mat (6). The housing (8), the particular insert (4) and the particular mounting mat (6) are mounted as a function of the individual geometry determined. The quality of manufacture can be improved if the geometry is determined such that a predetermined clamping force is present in the mounted state and if the weight of the particular mounting mat (6) is determined separately and is taken into account separately in the determination of the geometry.
