Exhaust clip/hanger question

[Cfitz374]

I just bought a 2003 4runner and it has a duel borla exhaust on it. The driver side seemed loose so I got under there and the clip/hanger/bracket/whatever it's called is broken. There is a metal bracket with a black rubber piece that actually connects to the exhaust pipe. I need to replace the rubber peice (or upgrade to a stronger mounting system). Any suggestions on where to find the rubber peice or a better way to mount? Seems like the rubber thing could break pretty easily.

Toyota, and many other manufacturers have been using those rubber hangers for years. They work well, and do a good job of isolating the exhaust system noise from the vehicle. Easy to install and remove, but very rarely break or come loose on thir own. If yours is broken, it should be very easy to replace it. Either oem from dealer, or aftermarket. They are not very expensive.

Thanks for the info. I'll get a new from the local muffler shop.

I have the Borla exhaust too and I have Borla send me a new pair of isolators for the tailpipes usually once a year. It's under warranty.
