2005 Toyota Vitz/Yaris — Exhaust-Mount

Exhaust-mounts are absolutely used on the 2005 Toyota Vitz/Yaris. Technical references back this up: Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue lists the “Insulator, Exhaust Pipe Support” (rubber exhaust hangers/mounts) for 2005 Vitz/Yaris chassis codes such as NCP91/SCP90, with common listings like 17565-21060 and related supersessions. The Toyota service manual’s Exhaust Pipe section also instructs removal and installation of these insulators during exhaust work. Aftermarket catalogues (e.g., Bosal and similar) show multiple rubber hanger locations along the centre pipe and rear muffler on this model. So yes—this vehicle is fitted with exhaust-mounts.

The exhaust-mount on a 2005 Toyota Vitz/Yaris keeps the exhaust system suspended under the car, isolating vibration and stopping the muffler and pipes from knocking on the body. It’s a simple bit of kit—usually a few rubber insulators and metal brackets—but it does a big job: comfort, quietness, and protecting the rest of the exhaust from stress and fractures.

On this Yaris/Vitz, there are typically three to four rubber hangers from the mid-pipe back to the rear muffler, plus brackets that bolt to the body. Over time the rubber can perish, crack, stretch, or tear. When that happens, the exhaust can sit lower, rattle over bumps, or thump at start-up. Left too long, a sagging system can strain flanges and the flex joint, which can get expensive.

As part of regular servicing in Aussie and Kiwi conditions, it’s sensible to eyeball the exhaust-mounts every service or 10,000–15,000 km. Replacement is affordable and quick, and fresh mounts make the whole car feel tidier. Always match the mount shape to the vehicle as the hole spacing and thickness vary.

• Common signs it’s time: dull thuds over bumps, cabin buzz at idle, tailpipe sitting off-centre, melted or shiny rub marks near the rear bumper or beam.
• Replacement tips: let the exhaust cool, support the muffler with a stand, use a spritz of silicone spray or soapy water to slide the rubbers off and on, and check nearby brackets for cracks.
• Good practice: replace mounts in pairs or all at once if they’re the same age, torque any bracket fasteners to spec and re-check clearances around the spare-wheel well and heat shields.

Owners can choose genuine Toyota insulators for OE fit and feel, or quality aftermarket units designed for the 2005 Vitz/Yaris. Either way, a fresh set of exhaust-mounts keeps the little Toyota quiet, comfy, and ready for more kays.

Popular questions

How many exhaust-mounts does a 2005 Vitz/Yaris have?
Most examples run three to four rubber hangers from the centre section to the rear muffler, plus fixed brackets on the body. Exact count can vary slightly with body style and market, but a quick look under the rear bumper and mid-floor will spot them.

How long do the exhaust-mounts last?
In typical AU/NZ use, they can last many years, but heat, age, and road grime eventually harden or crack the rubber. Start checking them at each service, and plan on replacement when you see perishing, stretching, or if you hear new rattles.

Can they be replaced at home?
Yes, if the car is safely supported and the exhaust is cool. A basic socket set, penetrating fluid, and silicone spray usually do the trick. Support the muffler before slipping the old rubbers off. If brackets are cracked or corroded, it’s best to let a workshop handle it.
