I agree with Jason, I 've had the same ball joints for 10 years now.  I did change the springs and hardware once during that period.  However, while they do great with lateral misalignment they by themselves only provide limited longitudinal give (they can pull against the springs and that provides some but not much-in my opinion).  Having said that, that is the only "slip" factor in my exhaust system, but apparently it is enough.  Recall though, my headers are made out of 0.10 stainless Steel pipe rather than tube.

Joe,

 

Slip joints turned out to be the biggest issue with my exhaust system. I finally broke down and ordered a ball joint assembly.
