Exhaust Sag

[Scott™]

Why does my exhaust sag from the cat to the rear section?

I've seen the exhaust removed and refitted properly but yet it hangs like hell from the cat to the centre section. Its all tight and sealed but i now keep catching it. Should there be a centre mount?

There is a centre hanger which is often a weak point. However Renault have released an upgraded hanger that is stronger (red coloured).
Both my 182s have sagged in that exact position though.

​Like that

The centre mount is a small mounting plate, a rubber elastic band esque hanger with a washer on the bottom for the centre hanger to slot into.

It should be red, not black like in coleman's ebay link. And they can be a complete b**ch to remove sometimes!

Hmmm I have a red one of those spare. Maybe worth a look at.
