Re: [diesel_mercedes] Rubber muffler hangers for 123

 

You can see both styles on Autohaus website.

1.  The rubber one with bicycle chain inside is harder to put on, will last forever, and is more expensive

2.  I order the rubber donuts which are cheaper, easier to put on, and inspect them at least semi annually. I also wrap a 4"-6" piece of a coat hanger on 1 or 2 holders as a safety valve.

3.  Had a muffler hit the ground once (after I hit a speed bump). Had coat hangers in the trunk. Put the muffler back up with coat hangers  at 10:30pm in Palm Springs after dinner, drove back to L.A. and ran that way for 5 years - only changed back to donuts because people laughed at me.

All four of the hangers for this muffler broke or came off; three broke, one was still functional though deteriorated.

Two questions; are the ones others are using just the donut shape? the ones that were there had an inner part so the donut would stop the metal pieces from separating past a certain point, and the inner part would keep them from touching. If they'd been the donut type, they would not have remained with the vehicle.

The other is what is the part # for the donut with its hole still there type; it seems better...
