Abstract
An exhaust pipe tether includes a body defining a first end and a second end and at least one end piece removably engaged with at least one of the first and second ends. The body comprises a dimension, db, measured through a longest portion of the body along a central axis or through a widest portion of the body along an axis perpendicular to the central axis, and db is ≧0.5 dex, wherein dex is an exhaust pipe dimension measured through a longest portion of a cross-section of the exhaust pipe along a central axis or through a widest portion of a cross-section of the exhaust pipe along an axis perpendicular to the central axis.
