Two gas conduits of different sizes are connected in a sliding arrangement using a combination of a seal and a bushing, each independently made from knitted wire mesh or wound wire. If a mesh is used, it can be impregnated with a filler, such as mica or graphite, for increased density. Especially useful for vehicle exhaust systems, the arrangement facilitates the use of after-market parts that may have different dimensions than OEM parts. This design slidably connects two gas conduits of different sizes and/or geometries.
