Has anyone had a problem with these failing?
Replaced mine two years ago and have both failed, I suspect once one goes the other.doesnt last long.
Previous set were.feom mazdabongo.com which is extra expensive for me now since Brexit as I'm in Ireland.
Does anyone have a universal or alternative that they've tried, preferably that will last a few years!

Never known those fail. Use my bongo over rough beach roads every year, so regularly check the exhaust. Sure you have not got a pair missing someplace, IE putting extra pressure on your failed pair? or maybe a missing a heatshroud or some alignment problem / sharp edges?.
If the old ones are still somewhat in-tact, suppose you could try find equivalents in a breakers yard.

Interesting, the two I've noticed to have failed are at the very rear of the exhaust, one either side of the back box and they appear to be taking the full weight of the exhaust, possibly that is why they've failed so early. How many have you on your van?

Much appreciated, my two at the very rear were absolutely shot after 6,000km since January 2021.
Both were completely perished and had ripped right through at the bottom and were close to doing so at the top also.
Replaced with much more significant generic ones.

Aye they should have lasted longer than that everything being equal, happily the are cheap to replace.
