Default Where to get muffler bushings?

The bushings that keep my muffler in the air, i want to replace my stockers and get something tighter, so i won't scrape my maffler.

Thanks <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

are you talking about isolators? If so, I don't believe there are aftermarket ones. The factory ones will stretch after time and a new one from the dealer will be pretty tight. If I recall correctly, there like $8.

I used a hose clamp around the isolator and just tightened it up.

...after you find the muffler bearings, please tell me how to fix my intake welds....

....I saw the movie, The Fast and Furious, recently. They were street racing their ricers and some guy fed his ricer too much NOS. The floor board came off during the race and the intake welds on the 4-banger were blown...

...my machanic friend told me our LS1 intake welds are plastic. Apparently, they are very costly to re-weld...
