The exhaust system (60) includes an exhaust flow path liner (62) surrounded and supported by a plurality of structural duct segments (64, 70). Pluralities of links (84) are secured to and extend between the duct segments (64, 70) and the liner (62). A duct end (88) of the link includes a lock member (96) having a diameter greater than a width of the stem (86). The lock member (96) is configured to be secured within a capture nest (98) defined between and within adjacent junction flanges (76, 80} of the structural duct segments {64, 70) when the segments (64, 70) are secured to each other to secure the segments (64, 70) together. A catch member (100) at an opposed end of the link (84) is secured to a capture node (102) at the exhaust liner (62).
