   Are these stiffer exhaust rubbers than the standard VTS ones?

   Basically i had the cat changed and since then the exhaust rattles and bangs about and certain revs. Took it back to the garage and checked it and said that its probably because the new cat is slightly shorter than the old one therefore at certain revs the exhaust is banging against part of the rear torsion bar and the easiest way to fix this is to get harder exhaust rubbers to stop it moving?
   
   Does this sound right?

    stops the exhaust bouncing and helps the gases escape.
    Over winter etc they make my engine abit stutery/kangaro on cold start up.

    our exhaust mounts are pretty solid rubber! Standard ones are really quite squishy.
