MTC Exhausts Stainless MINI OVAL Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

The mtc exhausts stainless mini oval exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed to hold your performance exhaust or silencer securely in place, mile after mile. Crafted right here in the UK by the team at Max Torque Cans, this strap represents the kind of no-compromise quality that serious riders demand from every single component on their machine. Whether you are building a custom exhaust setup, replacing a worn or corroded original strap, or simply upgrading to something more durable, this is the part you have been looking for.

Why Choose the MTC Exhausts Stainless Mini Oval Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter?

When it comes to mounting hardware for your silencer or performance can, the details matter enormously. A poorly made strap can vibrate loose, corrode into a rusty mess within a single season, or worse, allow your expensive exhaust to shift and crack under load. The mtc exhausts stainless mini oval exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter eliminates all of those concerns in one tidy, well-constructed package.

Manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel with a 1.2mm wall thickness, this strap is built to handle the thermal cycling, road vibration, and exposure to the elements that are simply part of everyday riding. The 304 grade specification means you are getting an alloy that resists corrosion from salt, rain, and grime — exactly what you need when the British weather decides to remind you it is in charge. The stainless construction also means the strap retains its smart appearance far longer than mild steel alternatives, which is particularly important if your exhaust build is on show.

The strap measures 30mm wide, giving it a generous contact surface area that spreads clamping load evenly around the body of your can or silencer. This helps to avoid stress concentration, which can lead to cracking or deformation on lighter exhaust bodies over time. The integrated rubber lining plays a critical role here too — it cushions the strap against the exhaust body, dampens vibration, prevents metal-on-metal contact, and protects the finish of your performance can from being marked or scratched by the steel strap itself.

Fitment Guide for the MTC Exhausts Stainless Mini Oval Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

Getting the right strap for your exhaust is absolutely essential. Fit a strap that is too large and it will never clamp properly, leaving your silencer loose and prone to movement. Fit one that is too small and you risk deforming the rubber insert or cracking the strap itself. The mtc exhausts stainless mini oval exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is specifically sized to suit exhausts and silencer bodies with an external diameter of 98mm.

This makes it ideal for a wide range of aftermarket and custom performance cans that use the popular 98mm body size. If you are unsure of your exhaust body diameter, simply take a measurement around the outside of your can at the widest point of the section you wish to mount, then divide by pi (3.1416) to confirm the diameter. For a mini oval body, measure across the widest axis for your reference point.

The mini oval profile of this strap also means it is well suited to silencers and cans that feature a subtle oval cross-section rather than a perfectly circular body — a shape that is increasingly popular on modern custom builds and retrofit performance exhausts. The strap conforms neatly around the body, and the rubber insert helps to take up any minor variations in shape, ensuring a snug and rattle-free fit.

If you are also upgrading your downpipes or looking for complementary performance components, the Aprilia RS660 De-Cat DownPipes are a popular choice among riders building out a full free-flowing exhaust setup, and they pair beautifully with quality mounting hardware like this strap.

Installation Notes for the MTC Exhausts Stainless Mini Oval Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

Installing the mtc exhausts stainless mini oval exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is a straightforward job, but a few practical pointers will help you get the best results and ensure the mount remains secure for the long term.

Before fitting, always ensure the exhaust body is clean and free from grease, oil, or corrosion at the mounting point. A quick wipe with a clean cloth and some contact cleaner will do the job. Position the rubber insert inside the strap before placing it around the exhaust body — the rubber should sit flush inside the strap with no folding or bunching. Once positioned correctly on the can, align the strap mounting tabs with your bracket or hanger and fasten using appropriate stainless hardware to maintain your corrosion resistance across the whole assembly.

It is good practice to torque mounting bolts gradually and evenly, alternating sides where you have multiple fixings, to ensure the strap seats uniformly around the exhaust body. Do not overtighten — the rubber insert needs to compress slightly but should not be squeezed flat. A firm, even clamp is what you are aiming for. Once the exhaust has been run up to temperature for the first time, re-check the tightness of the strap, as initial heat cycling can cause minor relaxation in the assembly.

This strap is fully compatible with welded bracket setups, bolt-on hangers, and custom fabricated mounts. If you are working on a custom build from scratch, the 30mm width makes it easy to fabricate a matching bracket with standard flat bar stock or laser-cut plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the MTC Exhausts Stainless Mini Oval Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter fit my exhaust?

This strap is designed to fit exhaust and silencer bodies with an external diameter of 98mm. If your can or silencer measures 98mm across its body at the intended mounting point, this strap will fit correctly. For oval bodies, measure across the major (widest) axis.

Does the rubber insert need to be replaced separately over time?

The rubber insert is included with the mtc exhausts stainless mini oval exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter and is designed to be long-lasting under normal use.
