Abstract
A quick-release adapter for connecting the inlet of an exhaust removal hose to the outlet of a tail pipe of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine while minimizing exhaust leakage. The adapter includes three disk-like permanent magnets pivotably mounted on the inlet of exhaust removal hose and three receptacle-shaped magnetic connectors secured to the outlet of the tail pipe for engaging the magnets and mating the exhaust removal hose to the tail pipe. The exhaust removal hose is thus readily connectable to and disconnectable from the tail pipe.
