Exhaust pretzel

[Guy]

dose the Exhaust pretzel bracket hold the pipe ridged or is it designed for movement?

[bmccarthy67]

There are small rubber isolator on each end of the strap (they provide the ability for the system to move...some). It would be pretty intense at cold idle with a non flex system. The vendors sell a flex pipe for the base of the headers/manifold to provide some additional flex.

In 2022 what is a source of the rubber isolators? I've searched Rock Auto and other auto parts stores with no luck.

Thanks, all, for the information. I ended up using the McMaster-Carr isolators because the Peugeot isolators seemed to be out of stock everywhere.

Mcmaster-Carr has high temp units, they come in several durometers, and are orange. I bought some, as have others, do a search here, and You should find them. Try this

I used these. I just added some washers to make up the height and cut the sides a bit. BOSAL 255-282 - MOUNT PEUGEOT

What is the thickness of the original isolators?

I also believe there was a heat shield, right angle bracket that fit over the mounting stud on the pipe side of the isolator to keep
It from drying out

I had some and I made some from some aluminum sheet. Stuff is thin so I just cut it with a box knife. Used 2 layers of header wrap to take the place of the stock insulation.

Here's the stock one. Insulator goes between the shield and strap.
