Exhaust rubbers

[plymcl172]

My exhaust rubbers in the clamp on the back has snapped yet again. They only seem to last 6 months ish. Just wondered if this was a bit of a common fault for Renault as its pretty rubbish really. Fed up with them snapping all the time. The guy at the garage said that the back box is quite heavy for the car and that puts a lot of pressure on the exhaust mount. I have a standard exhaust aswell. Anything else I can do because its annoying !

Very common covered on here a lot.

Get some cable ties to hold the mount up inside the rubber parts, can also use hose and old sockets

They are absolute pants. The socket bodge looks pretty sturdy tho (I think there's a pic on Emma's 'Officially a sheep' thread).

I just bought a new mount from ECP and it does feel quite stern, a lot better than the one's I've bought before from local Motor factors which lasted about 1 month!

Ive found the springs from a 106 gti/VTS exhaust manifold to cat work well when cable tied in. Cut them down a bit first though and they give a bit that bit of compression/flex you need

Just be a boss and get a solid one!

Anyone got a scorpion cat back (not RS192 I don't think?), the 3.5" inward rolled one - and fabricated a mount to make the exhaust sit up higher to fit into a bumper recess?

Does it come in two pieces? if so just twist it like I did on my car.

yeah it did mate. ive seen a couple for sale on here, it hangs quite low and only has one mounting bracket on the backbox. Surprisingly quiet for such a big tailpipe! Anyway, yeah that's the one. How do you mean 'twist it'? Sorry I'm not the person fitting it but I'll be watchin my mate fettle it tomorro.

Well on the join where you clamp it (near the rear beam) you can twist the backbox, which raises the tailpipe up. It also makes the backbox slanted so don't do it too much or you will see it from underneath the car.

Ahhhh! So as a result you mean, you will have the scorpion emobossed logo a bit skewiff? Not that that's an issue I'm just trying to get what you're meaning. Cheers mate, will do that.
