Exhaust mounts

[SimpleJoee]

Right, so mine are shot and I'm needing new ones.

Just wondering what the best way forward is. I assume this is the correct OEM replacement part 'http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...851?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4882f9e3', but I have also heard of people using the Powerflex EXH008 'http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-UNIV...MEROUS-CARS-/231490021265?hash=item35e5e16791'. What's my best choice? I'm assuming the OEM replacement, but then iirc the Powerflex rubber is stronger?

I have the powerflex mounts ready to fit to some exhaust hangers, supposedly stronger and won't wreck itself on a speed bump, time will tell, I've had them sitting around for ages and need to get my finger out

I have the same problem what a stupid cheap design they need to be a solid bush, Prima Racing do one which is a solid bush design but they are £45 on ebay

Yeah mine are knackered, it passed it's mot so I'm just gunna bodge it I think.

If you have a search on here there's a thread showing pictures of people that used a different powerflex mount .

new standard mounts are 12 quid each and I got 2 powerflex mounts for about 12 pound, I'm just lazy but I'll get them on asap, all you need for it are bushes, mounts, a 12mm drill bit and some cable ties,and a Stanley knife to trim the bushes to size

Dont buy the exhaust hangers off ebay as they will probably be non genuine and they DO fail a lot quicker. They are £25 for a pair from Wolverhampton Renault in the traders section.

At 7 quid a hanger it's worth just buying them frim eBay if you're gunna gut them for powerflex mounts anyway

i had the powerflex done on my mount on my 172 as the scorpion exhaust was heavy,it worked a treat

I got tired of replacing this little dude. Steel has stopped the knocking over speed bumps with the slight side effect of making the exhaust roughly TWICE AS LOUD!

If only there were some sort of solution with a nice, compliant polyurethane one....?

There is, I filled the lower gaps of mine with RTV. There is no extra vibration and it's been on there for 7 years so far and still good.
