Exhaust Bellows

[JimT]

Last year I replaced the exhaust bellows on my 2012 Pete 587 with a Torque brand one from Amazon at half the cost of the dealer. Matched up with OEM part #. Only downside was the clamps they provided weren't as good so I just reused the old clamps. A good coating of anti-seize along the entire inner side of the v-clamp helps to seat the clamp and reduce/prevent it from rusting to the pipe. So far it's performing identically to OEM. Considering it's usage I figured it wouldn't hurt to try out. I've been getting around 200k miles out of the OEM bellows before they start to leak, so this one still has a way to go to truly prove itself.
