Restore authentic performance and periodcorrect styling to your C2 Corvette with the C2 19651967 Corvette Side Exhaust Pipe Rear Cushion Retainer. Specifically engineered for midyear Corvettes equipped with side exhaust systems, this reproduction part reestablishes the secure hold of the rear rubber insulator cushion on the exhaust mounting assembly. Proper mounting along the rocker panels is essential for consistent exhaust positioning and smooth operation during spirited driving or longterm restoration.
Why this rear cushion retainer matters
The rear cushion retainer works in concert with the exhaust insulator to dampen vibration, prevent metaltometal contact, and ensure the exhaust pipes stay aligned. When the cushion or retainer wears or shifts, you may experience rattling, misalignment, or increased wear on mounting points. This OEMspec retainer is designed to keep the exhaust line stable, reducing noise and avoiding contact that can compromise performance over time.

- Zincplated steel finish Durable, corrosionresistant coating built to withstand undervehicle conditions.
- Directfit replacement Installs with factory mounting hardware for a straightforward restoration process.
- Secure cushion retention Specifically secures the rear rubber insulator cushion at the rear exhaust mounting point, maintaining proper alignment.

Fitment and installation
Compatible with 1965 Chevrolet Corvette, 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, and 1967 Chevrolet Corvette (C2 MidYear) models equipped with side exhaust systems. This is a reproduction replacement crafted to OEM specifications for accurate fit and function.
