Just go to a motor factors and have a look at some and find some that are a bit shorter


Although mine uses lots of zipties to solve the problem

heard powerflex rubbers are good for aftermarket exhausts. I'm using a set from halfords, there a lot stiffer than the vaux ones i had and seem to hold the exhaust quite close to the bumper too

If its for a corsa b then focus(2000 shape) ones are good, they are much shorter and stiffer.

Yep agree with Jay and Dave, I used Ford Focus ones on my Corsa exhaust too. Perfect fit.
