Ktec recessed not sitting right

[BustaMOVEs]

Fitted the recessed exhaust today and can't make it sit up flush with the cut out area of the bumper, replaced with new oe exhaust mounts.
Any tips on this as I've seen photos of others sitting nicely, is it a modified rear mount that needs doing to make them sit right?
ATM it sags down a bit below the bumper cut out piece.

Thanks in advance

Cable ties are your friend!

Really? Plastic on metal = heat = broken cable ties

 

[seanybaby1788]

Can get metal ties. Obviously you want to use your existing mounts but use the cable ties to bring the tail pipes in the desired position. The standard mounts are awful and fail very quickly. The best mounts are Prima Racing ones.

Is this the way folk do it for the recessed exhausts?
Surely there another way as exhaust needs a bit of flex

I pinned mine to stop it slipping round because even with the clamps fully tight it still slipped.

Any pics jay?

I've found this http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...ount-sagging&p=3756499&viewfull=1#post3756499 seems a top solution

I put a socket in the lower part of the rear mount, to lift it into position.

Sorry Corky my issue appears to be different than yours, my back box was slipping round on the center section so I pinned it where they slip together.

I have the Ktec Stealth fitted and sagging/destroying mounts and generally not sitting well has plagued me the last month.

In the end I've stumped up for a Prima Racing rear exhaust mount (which has replaced a socket bodge OEM mount AND two powerflex universal mounts), and also replaced the s**t U-bolt exhaust clamps K-tec supply for some Jetex stainless steel Mikolar style.

I then fabricated a bendy steel bracket to support the other side of the rear box (with out drilling or cutting the boot floor or wheel well) using a hole located near the Rear mount housing Renault must of put in and not needed

Edit: An now it seems to be ok!

Ah I see, I'm ordering these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271193524194?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 as they seem a lot better and neater looking

Not sure the prima racing ones will lift it up enough for the recessed exhaust as the male hanger needs to be quite high to sit flush into cut bumper (non cut bumpers maybe ok with prima ones)

If you make your own mount for about £12 or so you can put the hole where you want it to raise it up.

I've found some round tube thingys so I'm going to shove them in tmr and sort it for free.

Thanks for the tips and advise.
