ABSTRACT:
A flexible connector for connecting adjacent ends of substantially successive pipes in an exhaust system.

A flexible tubular bellows substantially surrounds at least part of the input and output couplers, as well as the at least one articulated joint. A flexible closure member substantially surrounds the bellows to protect it from external forces.
