Parts for your 2013 Daihatsu Bego-Exhaust mount

2013 Daihatsu Bego exhaust-mount: what it does and when to replace it

Yes, an exhaust-mount is used on the 2013 Daihatsu Bego. Technical references that specify the use of exhaust mounts (rubber insulators/hangers) on this model include: the Daihatsu Be-go/Terios J200/J210 Series Service Manual (Exhaust System section), the Toyota Rush J200E Electronic Parts Catalogue listing “Insulator, Exhaust Pipe” across multiple hanger positions, and Toyota/Daihatsu workshop procedures for muffler/exhaust pipe removal and installation that require transferring and inspecting the rubber insulators. Collectively, these sources confirm the Bego’s exhaust is suspended by several rubber mounts from the front pipe through to the rear muffler, so the part is relevant and fitted to this vehicle.

On the 2013 Bego (also known as the Toyota Rush/Terios J200), the exhaust-mounts are the small but mighty rubber insulators that hold the exhaust system up while allowing a bit of flex. They isolate vibration, keep the tailpipe centred in the bumper cut-out, and stop the system belting the underbody when the road gets rough. Being rubber, they harden and crack over time, especially with heat, oil mist, or coastal conditions.

Owners typically find there are several mounts along the system—often around four—supporting the front pipe, centre section and rear muffler. If a mount perishes, the exhaust can sag or sit off-centre, causing rattles, knocks over bumps, or a droning note in the cabin. Left too long, extra movement can stress joints and flanges, making leaks or breaks more likely.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to have the mounts checked every 20,000–30,000 km or annually if the Bego sees a lot of short trips or unsealed roads. Replacement is straightforward with the car safely raised: support the exhaust, lube the old rubbers with silicone spray, lever them off, then press on new, heat-rated insulators. Go for OEM or quality aftermarket parts that match the original thickness and hole spacing. If one mount has failed, replacing the set is cheap insurance for even support.

• Common signs they’re due: exhaust sagging, tailpipe off-centre, thumps on start-up/shut-down, rattles at certain revs, or visible cracks in the rubber.
• Handy tips: never hang the system by one mount alone, inspect brackets and heat shields while you’re there, avoid petroleum grease on rubbers—use silicone-based lube.

With fresh mounts fitted, the Bego’s exhaust sits where it should, runs quieter, and is less likely to cop damage on rough Kiwi and Aussie roads.

Popular questions

How many exhaust-mounts does a 2013 Daihatsu Bego have?
Most Begos run about four rubber mounts from front to rear, but the exact count can vary with trim and 2WD/4WD layouts. A quick look underneath will confirm the number and positions.

What are the signs an exhaust-mount needs replacing?
Look for a droopy tailpipe, knocks over bumps, rattles at idle or certain revs, and rubber that’s cracked, flattened or oil-soaked. Any of these are a nudge to swap the mounts.

Can universal exhaust hangers be used on a Bego?
Yes, as long as the size, hole spacing and durometer (hardness) match the original. For best fit and longevity, OEM-equivalent, heat-rated insulators are recommended.
