Parts for your 2010 Honda Elysion-Exhaust mount

2010 Honda Elysion exhaust mount — purpose, service tips, and when to replace

Exhaust mounts are absolutely relevant on the 2010 Honda Elysion. Honda workshop literature for the Elysion (RR1–RR6) exhaust system, along with Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue diagrams for the rear muffler and centre pipe, show multiple rubber exhaust hanger mounts used to suspend and isolate the exhaust from the body. That means “exhaust mount” is a correct and fitted component on this model.

On the Elysion, the exhaust mounts (also called hangers or insulators) are the small but mighty rubber supports that hold the front pipe, centre section, and rear muffler in the right spot under the vehicle. Their job is to isolate vibration and noise, allow the system to expand and move with heat, and keep the pipes clear of the subframe, fuel tank, and bodywork. When they harden, crack, or stretch, owners tend to notice knocks over bumps, extra cabin buzz, a sagging muffler, or even strained joints and leaks.

As part of routine servicing in Aussie and Kiwi conditions—where heat, road grime, and coastal air are common—these mounts deserve a look at least annually or every 10–15,000 kilometres. A quick visual check on a hoist will pick up perished rubber, torn lips, elongated holes, or shiny witness marks where the exhaust has been touching the body. If one is clearly tired, it’s smart to replace the set on that section (for example, both rear muffler mounts) to keep height and alignment even.

• Typical signs they’re due: dull thud from the rear, rattles at idle, exhaust sitting off-centre, or visible cracking/hardening of the rubber.
• Handy tips: support the exhaust with a jack and a timber block, mist the old mounts with silicone spray to slide them off, and fit new mounts with the arrows/orientation as per the bracket.

Quality matters. OEM or OE-equivalent rubber durometer keeps vibration low and stops the muffler bouncing. After fitting, check clearances to the heat shields and bumper, and recheck after a short drive as the system heat-cycles. If the metal hanger pegs are rusty or bent, replace or clean them so the new rubber isn’t chewed out early. Keeping these little mounts healthy protects flex joints, gaskets, and welds across the exhaust—cheap insurance for a quieter, longer-lasting Elysion.

How many exhaust mounts does a 2010 Honda Elysion have?

Most Elysion variants run roughly four to six rubber mounts spread across the front, centre, and rear sections. The exact count can vary with engine and trim. A quick check on the vehicle or by VIN in a parts diagram will confirm the layout.

How often should exhaust mounts be replaced?

There’s no fixed interval, but annual inspections are wise. In moderate climates they often last 5–10 years, coastal or high-heat use can age them sooner. Replace at the first sign of cracking, sag, or contact with the body.

Can universal exhaust hangers be used on an Elysion?

Universal rubbers can work if the size and hole spacing match, but OE-spec mounts usually control noise and movement better. Choose a similar hardness (durometer) and confirm clearance after installation.
