ABSTRACT:
An articulating type exhaust connector for a vehicle having a transversely mounted engine with an exhaust manifold moveable with respect to an exhaust header conduit caused by engine roll. The articulated connector includes a seating surface formed at the outlet of the manifold and a seal carried on the end of the header which engages the manifold. The end of the header and seal carried thereby is biased against the manifold by means of a flange and bolt connector and a washer type spring between the flange and the header so that the seal is pushed against the seat permitting the header and seal to articulate a substantial angular amount with respect to the manifold.
