ABSTRACT:
The exhaust manifold for a transversely mounted automobile engine terminates adjacent to the engine in an outlet having an articulated connection with the inlet of an exhaust header that terminates in an exhaust pipe discharging to the atmosphere.
The articulated connection comprises an annular coupling portion having a spherical surface at the header inlet removably interfitting within a downstream enlarging conical sealing surface at the manifold outlet. An annular flange adjacent to the inlet of the header may be seated in sealing engagement against a second sealing surface of the annular coupling portion. A collar is yieldingly urged against the annular flange by spring means removably secured to the header to enable replacement of the annular coupling portion and to maintain the latter during operation in sealing engagement with the conical sealing surface.
