Exhaust Mounting Rubber recs?

[Mdubs]

I just replaced this not too long ago and the rubber is already torn. My rear exhaust is wiggling up and down significantly. I do remember it was extremely hard to get this on the brackets (both truck and exhaust) so I may have torn it while trying to get it on. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a sturdier rubber piece or a better way to get it on. I'll post some pics of the brackets when I get home from work. Thanks

Soapy water helps significantly when sliding them on.

Just replaced my exhaust system & I was surprised to see my rubber mounts (Same as your link less than 5 years old) were in poor shape with cracks.

I'll try that but the metal tab on the top is a significant problem when trying to get this on.

Last time I did this I bought genuine. It’s a stock item for me.

Also make sure the exhaust is not under tension. It should just be the weight of the exhaust.

I’m using an aftermarket because my pipe is not stock. Works great.
