Abstract:
1. An exhaust device for a vehicle, comprising: a first tubular member; a second tubular member, wherein an inner surface of the second tubular member faces an outer surface of the first tubular member; an annular member positioned between the outer surface of the first tubular member and the inner surface of the second tubular member, wherein the annular member includes a generally hollow cross section and is elastically deformable in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first tubular member and the second tubular member, and wherein the annular member is rotatable about a central axis of the cross section such that the annular member can move by rotation relative to the outer surface of the first tubular member and the inner surface of the second tubular member; and at least one movement regulating member arranged to regulate movement of the annular member, the at least one movement regulating member defining a boundary of a range within which the annular member can move by rotation in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the first tubular member and the second tubular member; wherein the at least one movement regulating member is defined by a deformation in one of the outer surface of the first tubular member and the inner surface of the second tubular member.
