cheaper exhaust bushings?

[crazy9ceguy]

I heard autobac sell some exhaust bushings taht are made of urethane? anyone know if these are good? or should i just stick wit hthe nismo ones? Yea my apex gt spec caught on somthing today and knocked all 4 of my turbo to manifold exhasut bolts loose.

[ootranceformeroo]

go to pepboys. I got mine there and theyre stiff as fuck. You might need to make the holes bigger to fit the exhaust in there but they are pretty stiff. I put my foot to my exhaust and it doesnt move. I think its like...$5-6 bucks for one.

[crazy9ceguy]

what are they made of? and waht brand did u get?

I dont know what theyre made of...probably some kinda rubber or something. I dont care much though. They freakin work awesome. I dont know the name of the brand nor do I care but iirc they were in a red package and the only exhaust hangers there.

anyone know how much the nismo hangers are and if they are super stiff, my exhaust is rattling on the bottom of the trunk at high rpms :(

[crazy9ceguy]

Nismo's go for $13. http://performancenissanparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=146_646_675_677&products_id=2019

I got Ford Truck hangers for $4each at the autopart store. I couldn'd find the urethane ones.

Kartboy sells Urethane Exhaust Hangers for WRXes that fit us. http://www.allwheelengineering.com/basket/catalog.cgi?query_net_id=kartboy&query_class=KB-011

[michael1284]

[crazy9ceguy]

[michael1284]

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

Why 3? S14's use 4.

[revat619]

I can get you those stiff muffler hangers for $20 shipped. Unfortunately, for some reason they only come in packs of three. They're definitely better than stock though. I have them on my car and i can tell the difference. With stock you can shake your exhaust pretty easily, but with these the exhaust barely moves.

[lilredstiffy]

Hose clamps also do the job just fine. Tighten them around your current hangers.

[justinhustle]

cusco are good

importfan used to sell em for like 6 bux a piece :O

[michael1284]

used to...so not nemore? :(

[projectRDM]

nismos go for 20 EACH. whats kartboy?

Retail. Dealer net is much less. I picked up four of them for $36.

[michael1284]

dealer net? link?

[projectRDM]

There is no link. Go to your local dealer and don't let them rape you. Easy. If they do, then find one who won't.

Dealer markup is proportionate to the dealer's size, volume, sales, etc. A small dealer doing less business will always markup parts higher because they've got less overhead and need to charge more to make up for the low volume. Find a larger dealer that does more volume, preferably to wholesale accounts like other dealers, repair shops, bodyshops, they're moving more parts and can afford to charge less for the same things. You can call three different dealers and get three different prices on any item. Just like selling the cars themselves there's always leeway in the final price. It's common sense to know that. Unless you like paying too much.

hose clamps!!! i saw them do it in a option mag so you know its JDM tyte yo!

[crazy9ceguy]

i just called super autobacs and they told me $11 for 3 urethane exhaust hangers

[michael1284]

# to super autobacs? Just called my dealer and the guy said they don't have any of the nismo ones, only factory wtf :( :down:

Justin, which ones fit nissans? I only see the Subaru, Toyota, Honda, I'm guessing Subaru?

[justinhustle]

it should be pretty universal i would assume....

i mean its a bushing, dont quote me tho

[michael1284]

we should get a group buy on this shiz :)

[Legacy]

Go to Autobacs, They're like $25 for the full set. They're so stiff, it's nuts. I had to use a ton of grease and a prybar to get them on. When I shake my exhaust it shakes the entire car.

[michael1284]

hey legacy do you know which kind (brand) you got i'm about to give em a call, btw do they do internet/shipping orders?

[Legacy]

Haha! not to quote you...

Try stretching a skateboard wheel because it's almost but not quite long enough. A lot of cars use the same style and size of exhaust bushings but you'd need to know which ones. If they're too long or too short your exhaust will fit funny.

I believe the box said, WJR HYPER EXHAUST BUSH.

However, there are 2 brands that they sell, but that's the one they had in stock for S13. Get ready... a lot of the employees at Super Autobacs are dicks.

[michael1284]

okay they don't do phone orders and ship products out.. :(

[ootranceformeroo]

The pepboy ones are a lot stronger than stock as i stated above. They're cheap.

[S14DB]

I was just a Pep Boys. Didn't see um.

[michael1284]

I emailed courtesy nissan of richardson (my local nissan dealer) and they quoted me $15.00 each. I just emailed them back and asked if maybe we could get a few sets, they would lower the price, something like a group buy. I'll let you guys know asap.

[crazy9ceguy]

i just went to superior nissan and bought them for 13 each total of 56 bucks with tax. the idiots at autobacs said they had the bushings in stock and when i came it was all gone. But i did feel the material of those bushings at autobacs and they are way stiffer then the nismo ones.

[papershot]

I saw hard rubber bushings at an Autozone here for like 3 bucks each.

I think I'll try the pipe clamp idea, though. whatever works is good enough, they're exhaust bushings and I'm not paying $50+...

[Muzzy]

man ....jus get some pep boys specials....they are rubber. are they better then stock?? hell yea. cuz they are new and not worn out!! i considerd urathane ones...but i thought about it...its not real worth it in my opinion. your stock ones suk cuz they are prolly over 10 years old like mine(91).
