An exhaust connection coupler for use in an exhaust system is provided. The coupler includes a flexible bellows member and an outer braid cover surrounding an outer periphery of the bellows member. The bellows member is made of metallic material and has a generally cylindrical and repeatedly corrugated shape. The braid cover is formed into a predetermined shape prior to assembly with the bellows member such that a portion of the braid cover is maintained at a predetermined space from corrugations of the bellows member to avoid friction and to create a thermally insulating air gap therebetween. The coupler also includes a retainer for combining end parts of the bellows member and the braid cover.
