BOSAL 255-667 Rubber Buffer, Silencer

The BOSAL 255-667 Rubber Buffer is a high‑performance component designed to enhance the exhaust system of Ford vehicles such as the Escort IV, Fiesta III, Transit, and various other models. This product serves dual purposes: it acts as an effective silencer, reducing noise levels, and functions as a robust exhaust buffer, protecting the vehicle’s exhaust pipe from vibration and impact.

Key Functionalities

• Noise Reduction: The rubber construction absorbs sound waves generated by the engine, delivering a quieter driving experience without compromising performance.
• Vibration Dampening: By isolating the exhaust pipe from chassis vibrations, it prevents metal fatigue and extends the life of the exhaust system.
• Heat Resistance: The material is engineered to withstand high temperatures typical of automotive exhausts, maintaining integrity over prolonged use.
• Corrosion Protection: Its composition resists oxidation and rust, ensuring durability even in harsh environmental conditions.

Design & Material Specifications

The buffer is crafted from premium synthetic rubber that balances flexibility with structural strength. It features a reinforced core to support the exhaust pipe while allowing slight movement for vibration absorption. The outer surface is treated to resist abrasion and chemical exposure, making it suitable for continuous operation in automotive environments.

Compatibility

This component is specifically engineered for Ford models that use the 255-667 designation in their exhaust systems. It fits seamlessly into:

• Ford Escort IV and Escort VI (including various sub‑models such as GAF, AWF, ABFT)
• Ford Fiesta III (GFJ) and other Fiesta variants
• Ford Transit, Bus, Van, and Platform chassis with 2.5L engines
• Other Ford vehicles that share the same exhaust mounting geometry as the 255-667 series

Installation Overview

The installation process is straightforward for technicians familiar with standard exhaust systems:

1. Remove Existing Exhaust Components: Detach any old buffers or silencers that may be present.
2. Position the Buffer: Place the BOSAL 255-667 between the exhaust pipe and the mounting bracket, ensuring proper alignment.
3. Secure with Fasteners: Tighten bolts or clamps as specified by the vehicle’s service manual to maintain a secure fit.
4. Check for Clearance: Verify that there is no interference with other components such as heat shields, catalytic converters, or body panels.

Performance Benefits

After installation, drivers can expect noticeable improvements in:

• Reduced Road Noise: The buffer’s acoustic properties lower the overall sound level inside the cabin.
• Improved Exhaust Longevity: By mitigating vibration and impact forces, it reduces wear on exhaust joints and flanges.
• Enhanced Driving Comfort: Smoother exhaust operation translates to a more pleasant ride experience.

Maintenance Tips

While the BOSAL 255-667 is designed for long‑term use, routine checks can ensure optimal performance:

• Inspect for visible cracks or tears in the rubber after major road incidents.
• Verify that all mounting bolts remain tight and free from corrosion.
• Clean any accumulated soot or debris from the buffer’s surface to maintain its acoustic efficiency.

Why Choose BOSAL 255-667?

The combination of proven engineering, high‑quality materials, and a design tailored for Ford’s exhaust architecture makes the BOSAL 255-667 Rubber Buffer an excellent choice for vehicle owners seeking:

• A reliable noise reduction solution that does not compromise engine performance.
• A durable component that protects against vibration‑induced damage.
• An easy installation process compatible with a wide range of Ford models.

With the BOSAL 255-667, drivers can enjoy quieter rides and longer exhaust system life, all while maintaining the integrity and performance of their vehicle’s engine.
