EXHAUST BALL JOINT COUPLING
A exhaust ball joint coupling is used to secure the exhaust pipe to the engine manifold.
- This living joint actually moves back and forth as the engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur from the back-and-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine.

The exhaust ball joint consists of two bolts, two springs, and a ball joint seal ring which is a separate part from the exhaust pipe.
