For decoupling an exhaust system while suppressing or damping motion and cutting down noise as far as possible, a flexible joint or articulation for the exhaust system of a motor vehicle has a flexible duct part with support parts joined with its ends for outer damping members. The flexible duct part is so designed that the support parts are overlapped on the outer side of the duct part forming pockets acting as housings for compacts of compressed metal wire for damping motion of the support parts in relation to each other.

A coupling for producing an articulated connection between tubular parts for conducting exhaust gases from a motor vehicle, of the coupling comprising at least one flexible conducting part insertable between the tubular parts which are thereby connected, said flexible conducting part having connecting ends permanently connected with the respective ends of the tubular parts which are thereby connected, support parts disposed outside a path of the exhaust gases and connected with ends of said flexible conducting part, and damping members placed outside the path of the exhaust gases and connected with the support parts, said support parts overlapping each other and forming housing-like pocket which moves relative to each other, said damping members being made of compressed metal wire fabric pressed into the housing-like pockets and retained therein under pressure.
