Re: Exhaust donuts

[Brendan Rudack <rudack@ucsub.Colorado.EDU>]

The stock ones are rubber only.  $6 is a very good price for these things.
I've seen them in the APS catalog for ~$10 and the dealer sells the OEM
rubber ones for ~$3.  I suppose that when the rubber eventually rots away
the chain will transmit vibrations but it won't leave your exhaust system
hangin'.
