Methods for reducing vibration or noise from the exhaust system of a motor vehicle, especially of an automobile, by producing a thermoplastic vulcanizate muffler hanger and mounting it between the exhaust system and the body of the motor vehicle. Also, the thermoplastic vulcanizate muffler hangers so produced. L'invention porte sur des procédés de réduction des vibrations et du bruit générés par le système d'échappement d'un véhicule à moteur, plus particulièrement une automobile, par réalisation d'un support de silencieux thermoplastique vulcanisé et montage de celui-ci entre le système d'échappement et le corps du véhicule à moteur. L'invention porte également sur des supports de silencieux thermoplastiques vulcanisés ainsi réalisés.
