Exclamation Roush Rubber Exhaust Insulator Failure

So I discovered the insulators/couplers/hangers or whatever you call them, were failing horribly. Now, the exhaust has been on there a year, but I think that time frame is a little short to be having this happen.

The passenger side is the worst:


With the drivers side not too far behind:


Anyone else have this happen?

This has been a problem with a few people before, Roush will send you new hanger bushings but it'll probably just happen again.

Well that sucks.

It sounds like a weight/material deficiency. Maybe they should have added heavier duty mounts, or an additional one somewhere.

They should be using stronger rubber.
