ABSTRACT:
A longitudinal stringer type exhaust flex pipe assembly is provided having two end pieces and multiple interlaced interlocking longitudinal stringer elements forming a flexible cylinder. Every other longitudinal stringer element is affixed to each end piece, such that each stringer element is affixed to only one end piece. The stringer elements each have a male and a female interlocking feature that allows them to slide freely between each other while maintaining a relatively airtight seal.
