BOSAL 255‑162 Rubber Buffer – The Quiet Guardian of Your Exhaust System

The BOSAL 255‑162 Rubber Buffer is a precision-engineered component designed to absorb vibrations, reduce noise, and protect the exhaust system of modern vehicles. Whether you’re working on a Peugeot 307, Citroën C4, or any compatible model, this rubber strip delivers reliable performance and durability.

Key Functionalities

• Vibration Dampening: The high‑density elastomer material flexes under engine vibrations, converting kinetic energy into minimal heat. This keeps the exhaust piping stable and extends its lifespan.
• Noise Reduction: By isolating the exhaust system from the vehicle chassis, the buffer significantly lowers audible rumble, especially during acceleration and idling.
• Heat Resistance: The rubber compound withstands temperatures up to 250 °C, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy engine load.
• Corrosion Protection: The material resists oxidation and rust, safeguarding the underlying metal components from environmental damage.

Material Composition

The buffer is crafted from a proprietary blend of natural and synthetic rubber. This composition offers a balance between flexibility and strength, allowing it to maintain its shape over thousands of thermal cycles while still providing effective vibration isolation.

Installation Overview

1. Preparation: Clean the mounting area on the exhaust pipe and chassis. Remove any old rubber or debris that could compromise adhesion.
2. Positioning: Align the BOSAL 255‑162 with the designated mounting points, ensuring it sits flush against both the pipe and the vehicle frame.
3. Securing: Use the supplied fasteners or compatible bolts to clamp the buffer in place. Tighten evenly to avoid uneven pressure that could cause premature wear.
4. Verification: After installation, test drive the vehicle at low speeds to confirm that vibrations and noise have been adequately reduced.

Compatibility Matrix

The buffer is engineered for a range of models. Below is an overview of common vehicles where the BOSAL 255‑162 fits seamlessly:

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the buffer annually for signs of cracking or hardening. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Avoid exposing the rubber to harsh chemicals such as oil spills or brake fluid, which can degrade its integrity.
• When cleaning the exhaust area, use mild soap and water; harsh abrasives may scratch the rubber surface.
