Description
A flexible exhaust pipe is the decoupling element in a truck's exhaust line, fitted between rigid pipe sections. Engine movement, chassis flex and thermal expansion would otherwise crack the rigid pipes or their joints; the flexible section takes up this movement and damps vibration, so the exhaust system stays sealed. The body is a spirally wound, interlocked strip, with a welded sleeve and a flared collar at each end for clamping to the mating pipes. A torn or leaking flexible pipe causes exhaust noise and gas leakage, so it should be replaced as soon as damage is seen.
