Abstract
In an arrangement for mounting pipe end flanges to the exhaust gas passages of a cylinderhead of an internal combustion engine, the cylinderhead has pockets formed at one side of the exhaust gas passages and the pipe end flanges have projections projecting in opposite directions. One of the flange projections is received in the respective pocket while the opposite one is engaged by a guide strap holding the flange in engagement with the cylinderhead. A gasket and spring structure is disposed between the flange and the cylinderhead for controlling the engagement pressure between the flange and the cylinderhead.
