I'm searching for one of those oval-shaped rubber mounts (about 1" - 1.5" thick) that the bpipe and exhuast 'hang' from on the ITR. I believe the itr uses four, 2 towards the front of the bpipe, 1 right before the rear axle, and 1 directly past the rear axle. I need the one right before the axle, although I'm sure they are all the same. My very temporary fix was a zip tie. That was fine and dandy, but it was just a temporary fix until I could get an appropriate rubber mount.

According to my local acura dealer, they are on backorder. They also cost $14, which i find to be rather expensive. I'm thinking that this part has to be available elsewhere, and probably doesn't even have to be an 'itr-specific' part.

Does anyone know where I could get one quick? Or is there a common alternative?
Thanks in advance.

Yea, YOU need rattlebusters.
Somehow your car being near mine passed the disease along!!

 

I wouldn't use zip ties because they can melt? Coat hangers is where it's at!

 

HaHaHa, it's a contagious virus. SER disease...Shitty Exhaust Rattle....worse than West Nile Virus

Will you two knuckleheads knock it off!!

Two zip ties held for a week. Not too much heat (for whatever reason) way back near the axle, where the exhuast and the bpipe meet.

I'm not really happy that I might have to wait for a backordered piece of rubber. That seems silly. I'm sure almost every car on the road has a similar rubber mount system. Before I call all over God's Green Earth to find something similar, does anyone have any info?

Pepboys has rubber hangers. I was browsing for tools one day and saw a whole rack full of them in different sizes, at least two different kinds are suitable for the app you're looking for.

BTW, there are (5) rubber hangers total. The two just behind the cat are the same, and the three aft hangers are the same. But, you could effectively swap any of them around to any position b/c they're roughly the same size and shape.

Edit: If they don't have any, I have polyurethane hangers that'll work. Look in sig.

Thanks, IN VTEC.

Question - where is the 5th hanger? are there two for the exhaust (behind the rear axle)? I only discovered three... the ones I had to remove to get the bpipe off the car.

 

Yeah, you can get them at any auto parts store.

 

Yes, yes you can.
