2014 Daihatsu Bego Exhaust Mount

Yes, an exhaust mount is absolutely relevant and used on the 2014 Daihatsu Bego. Daihatsu/Toyota workshop manuals and EPC (electronic parts catalogues) for the J200/J210 platform (Bego/Terios/Rush) show multiple rubber exhaust hangers supporting the front pipe, centre section and rear muffler. They’re essential to how the system is suspended under the vehicle.

On this Bego, the exhaust mounts (also called hangers or rubbers) do the quiet, important work: they hold the exhaust at the correct height, isolate vibration so the cabin stays civil, and keep hot pipes from touching the body, crossmembers or driveline. Good mounts also reduce stress on flanges, oxygen sensor bungs and the flex joint, helping the system last longer and preventing annoying knocks over bumps.

Typical signs the mounts are tired include a muffler that sits low or skewed, a hollow knock when taking off or going over corrugations, a buzz or drone at certain revs, and visible cracks or delamination in the rubber. If the tailpipe is tapping the bumper or towbar, start with the mounts.

• Inspect every service (10,000–15,000 km), and after off-road use or towing.
• Look for perished rubber, elongated holes, torn straps, or stretched mounts.
• Check clearances around the rear crossmember, spare-wheel well and tow hardware.

Replacement is straightforward with basic tools. Let the exhaust cool fully, support the pipe/muffler with a jack stand, and spritz silicone spray or soapy water on the old rubbers to ease them off the pegs. Penetrating oil helps on any bracket fasteners. Fit the new mounts in the same orientation, some have moulded indexing that should face up. Recheck that the system has a little natural movement so it can expand with heat and won’t preload flanges. Tighten bracket hardware to the factory spec in the service data, if you’re unsure, nip them up firmly without distorting the brackets, then recheck after a short drive.

For parts, quality EPDM rubber hangers that match the OE dimensions work well for daily use, stiffer “performance” or polyurethane hangers reduce movement but can pass more vibration into the cabin. Given the low cost, replacing mounts as a set (front/centre/rear) is good practice if one has failed. Keeping these little bits healthy keeps the Bego quiet, tidy and road-legal.

Popular questions

How often should exhaust mounts be replaced on a 2014 Daihatsu Bego?
There’s no fixed interval. Check them every service and after rough-road trips. In typical Aussie and Kiwi conditions, many last 5–8 years, but heat, age, oil contamination and corrugations can shorten that.

Can a home mechanic replace the exhaust mounts?
Yes. With the car safely supported, a jack stand under the muffler, silicone spray, and a basic socket set, most owners can swap them in under an hour. Just be sure the exhaust is cool and watch the oxygen sensor wiring.

How many mounts does the Bego use and where are they?
Usually three to five along the system: near the front pipe, mid-section/resonator, and at the rear muffler. The exact count can vary with trim and market spec, but the principle is the same—each section is supported to keep the pipe centred and rattle-free.
