Zusammenfassung:The connection is fitted to an exhaust pipe on a motor vehicle, and has two overlapping coaxial sections. An elastic sealing element is arranged in the overlapping region, and flanges (6,8) are arranged in the region of each end section of the pipe. The flanges have attached connecting elements (7) which extend axially, and which are separated from one another, in order to connect between sections (1,2) of the pipe. The elements on at least one flange extend through openings in the latter, and can be moved relative to this flange. The connecting elements are leaf springs which allow torsional movements, apart from axial and angular movements between both pipe sections. Elastic jackets (9) are arranged between the springs and the flange in the openings in at least one flange (8). The springs are distributed over the circumference of the flange, and have cross sections which are roughly rectangular, with the longer side extending radially.
