My Exhaust rubbers keep coming off, i need to replace them every couple of weeks and its doing my head in.
are there any stronger or better fitting ones available (from another car or aftermarket bits)?
how much would they cost and where would i get them?
EDIT: Corsa B 1.0 12v with a standard exhaust

they keep falling off, or braking?
Do you have the retaining clips on there, to hold the rubbers on?

Use cable ties... Ive done this with loads of cars and it works just as well really. Unless you're going off roading or something

There are rubbers on the hangers, then there should be a groove cut into the hanger itself, where the retaining clip fits, like a circlip.
It stops the rubber being able to slide off the hanger, and should solve your problem.
