MTC Exhausts Stainless Steel GP Pro Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

The mtc exhausts stainless steel gp pro exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is one of those small but mighty accessories that every serious motorcycle builder, fabricator, or home mechanic should have in their workshop arsenal. Whether you are fitting a brand-new performance can, fabricating a custom silencer mount, or simply replacing a worn or corroded strap on an existing setup, this precision-engineered strap delivers the grip, durability, and finish that a quality build demands. Manufactured right here in the UK by MTC Exhausts, this strap is built to the same exacting standards that have made Max Torque Cans a trusted name in the British motorcycle performance community.

At Max Torque Cans, we understand that the details matter. A poorly fitted or low-quality strap can allow your can to vibrate loose over time, cause unsightly wear marks on your silencer body, and in worst-case scenarios, lead to costly damage on the road or track. That is precisely why we developed this product with care — choosing premium materials, sensible dimensions, and a rubber lining that protects your exhaust body while ensuring a secure, rattle-free hold.

Product Features: Why the MTC Exhausts Stainless Steel GP Pro Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter Stands Apart

This strap is not a generic off-the-shelf item. It has been designed specifically with motorcycle exhaust fitment in mind, and every dimension has been chosen with purpose. Here is a closer look at what makes this strap such a reliable choice:

• Material: Manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel — the gold standard for corrosion resistance in exhaust applications. Whether your bike faces British winters, track days, or heavy motorway use, this strap will not rust, pit, or degrade over time.
• Wall Thickness: At 1.2mm wall thickness, this strap offers a perfect balance of rigidity and workability. It is strong enough to hold your silencer firmly in place, yet can be adjusted or manipulated during fitting without the need for specialist tooling.
• Width: The strap is 30mm wide, providing excellent surface contact with your exhaust body. A wider strap distributes clamping load more evenly, reducing the risk of point loading that can dent or damage the outer skin of your can.
• Diameter: Specifically sized at 98mm internal diameter, making it ideal for exhausts, cans, and silencers with an outer diameter of 98mm — a popular dimension across a wide range of aftermarket and custom performance exhausts.
• Rubber Lining: The inclusion of a rubber insert is a key feature. The rubber acts as a buffer between the stainless steel strap and the surface of your can or silencer, preventing metal-on-metal contact, eliminating vibration buzz, and protecting any surface finish or coating on your exhaust body.
• GP Pro Design: The GP Pro designation reflects the performance-inspired aesthetic of this strap. It looks the part on everything from race-inspired café racers to stripped-back supermotos and track-day machines.
• Single unit listing: This listing covers one individual strap — ideal for single-point mounts or for purchasing exactly the quantity you need for your build.

When you choose the mtc exhausts stainless steel gp pro exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter, you are investing in a component that has been thought through from the ground up. This is not a compromise product — it is a focused solution for a specific job, done properly.

Fitment Guide for the MTC Exhausts Stainless Steel GP Pro Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

Getting the fitment right is straightforward, provided you take a moment to confirm your measurements before ordering. The key dimension to check is the outer diameter of your silencer or can body at the point where you intend to mount the strap. This strap is designed to fit exhausts with an outer diameter of 98mm.

The 98mm size is commonly found on a broad range of aftermarket performance cans, including many GP-style and oval cans used in custom builds and replacement fitments. If you are unsure of your exhaust’s outer diameter, simply use a set of callipers or a measuring tape around the body of the can at the intended mounting point. A snug, secure fit is what you are aiming for — the rubber lining will accommodate very minor variations, but for best results, your can’s outer diameter should be as close to 98mm as possible.

This strap is suitable for use on a wide variety of motorcycle types and builds, including:

• Custom café racer and scrambler builds
• Track-day and racing machines
• Streetfighter and supermoto builds
• Replacement fitment on bikes where the original mount has failed or corroded
• Home fabrication projects where a clean, professional-looking strap mount is required

If you are working on a project that involves significant exhaust work — such as fitting new downpipes alongside your silencer — you might also want to take a look at our Aprilia RS660 De-Cat DownPipes, which are another fine example of our commitment to quality stainless steel exhaust components.

Installation Notes for the MTC Exhausts Stainless Steel GP Pro Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

Installing this strap is a task well within the capabilities of a competent home mechanic. Here are a few tips to help you get the best result:

• Clean the mounting area first: Before fitting the strap, make sure the surface of your silencer or can body is clean and free from grease, old rubber debris, or corrosion. A clean surface ensures the rubber lining makes full, even contact with the exhaust body.
• Position carefully: Decide on the exact position of the strap before tightening. Once the fastener is tightened down, adjustments become more difficult and you risk scuffing the exhaust body if you have to reposition under load.
• Do not overtighten: The rubber lining is there to protect your can’s surface finish — but excessive clamping force can still cause deformation, particularly on thinner-walled silencer bodies. Tighten firmly and evenly, but stop when the strap is securely gripped. You should not be able to rotate the strap around the can by hand, but you do not need to apply extreme torque.
• Check after the first run: As with all exhaust mounting hardware, it is good practice to check and re-torque your fastenings after the first heat cycle. Metal and rubber both respond to heat, and a brief re-check ensures everything remains tight and properly seated.
• Use appropriate fasteners: Where possible, use stainless steel bolts and nuts to match the grade of the strap itself. This prevents galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals and keeps the overall finish consistent.

The mtc exhausts stainless steel gp pro exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is designed to be a long-term fitment — not something you will need to revisit every season. With the right installation and a quality stainless fastener, this strap should outlast many other components on your motorcycle.

Frequently Asked Questions About the MTC Exhausts Stainless Steel GP Pro Exhaust Body Strap with Rubber 98mm Diameter

Is this strap sold as a pair or individually?
This listing is for a single strap. If your build requires two mounting points, please add two units to your basket. Many customers also purchase multiples as spares.

Will the rubber lining withstand high exhaust temperatures?
The strap is designed to be positioned at the exhaust body — typically the silencer can section — rather than directly on the header pipe or downpipe. At this location, temperatures are substantially lower than at the header, and the rubber lining is well suited to the heat levels involved. If you are looking for a strap mount closer to the header, we recommend seeking a heat-rated alternative.

Can I use this strap on a carbon fibre or titanium can?
Yes. The rubber lining makes this strap safe for use on carbon fibre cans, as it prevents the steel from directly contacting and scratching the carbon weave. For titanium cans, the same principle applies — the rubber protects the surface finish.

What grade of stainless steel is used?
The mtc exhausts stainless steel gp pro exhaust body strap with rubber 98mm diameter is manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel at 1.2mm wall thickness — a specification chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in outdoor and high-heat environments.

Do you offer other sizes?
Yes — Max Torque Cans stocks exhaust body straps in a range of diameters to suit different can sizes. Please browse our accessories category or get in touch with our team if you need guidance on selecting the right size for your application.
