Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Jonny81191 - 09-07-2013 My 3" exhaust is a bit big in the exhaust tunnel and I want to reduce movement to stop it knocking on the rear bumper and heat shield. Has anyone used the powerflex exhaust rubbers? Or is there any other options? I was thinking of sandwiching the current mounts between two bits of conveyor belt rubber, which is quite stiff and might help. Anyone got any other thoughts?

If they are the same they will do the job Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Stephen - 09-07-2013 Cable ties? ![]() RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Matt - 09-07-2013 Wrap the exhaust in blankets. That will work right? RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Dum-Dum - 09-07-2013 Speed shack do good hard PU ones, about £2-£3 each IIRC, reckon you'd get for a tenner posted if you were nice RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - r3k1355 - 09-07-2013 I mis-read the title. I was seriously expecting a thread about bag-pipes I have used powerflex exhaust mounts tho, and they're a f*cking pig to get on unless everything lines up perfectly. There is zero give in them, you can warm them up in a kettle to make it abit more pliable but it's still a massive ballache. RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Jonny81191 - 09-07-2013 Just got new ones from unipart. Massive difference, they're much stiffer. RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - strictly_perv - 09-07-2013 Hose clamps are ideal IMO. stop movement and are adjustable so you can get it sitting exactly where you need it RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - cwspellowe - 09-07-2013 Aye Max but you want a bit of give or you'll crack welds after a while RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - Jonny81191 - 09-07-2013 Well hopefully I've sorted it with new mounts, the old ones were a bit perished TBH RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - ozonehostile - 09-07-2013 i welded a bracket with a plate onto the original hangar points, another plate welded to the exhaust then bolt the two together. keeps the exhaust nice and tight to the tunnel RE: Uprated rubber for my big pipe. - cully - 10-07-2013 std halfords exhaust rubbers £1.99 hose clip around the outside £1.30 or with trade card £1.20 + 70p works a treat |
