RE: Exhaust donuts

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

These are replacing tie wraps that replaced the stock rubber-only pieces
of s**t. The tie wraps didn't transmit any (or at least much, couldn't
tell anyway) vibrations, so even when the rubber goes away next century,
the chain will keep my exhaust off the right rear halfshaft. Igor is
right, these suckers should last forever!
