1. An assembly for induction heating an exhaust gas flow comprising: a substrate, a plurality of linear cells for the flow of the gas through the substrate from a front end of the substrate body to a back end thereof, a plurality of metal members spaced apart, each metal member having a linear supporting part, at least a portion of the linear supporting part of each metal member projecting from a front end of the substrate into a front-end part of a respective one of the cells, each metal member having a turbulence-inducing part to generate turbulence in the exhaust gas flowing into the cells and through the substrate, the turbulence-inducing part integral with the corresponding linear supporting part, each turbulence-inducing part in the form of a coil extending away from a face of the substrate.
