need better exhaust hangers!!!!!!

[Jezz172cup]

3 weeks ago I decided to treat my clio 172 cup to a new full through custom stainless Steel exhaust which cost me 550quid! So I decided to do the wise thing and replace both center and rear exhaust hangers.

Low and behold today I find they are perished ALREADY! so my new exhaust is rattling not happy!

WHY DO RENAULT MAKE SUCH SHIITE PARTS!

I'm sure a lot of you have had the same issue so my question is does anyone no where I cam buy stronger and more reliable hangers from?
Please help!

I tried bits of pipe wedged between the holes of the mount. That sort of worked so i then filled the whole thing in an acrylic glue and it hasnt moved since

 

[clancy]

can you not buy uprated ones ? the magnex exhaust i used to have had solid mounts and just a tiny rubber thing that allowed movement where it attached to the exhaust instead of the hanger

You can get some oval shaped rubber ones from most exhaust places that have several holes in which are a lot more solid and fit lovely into the standard rear mount, my mate fitted one to mine today. will get pics and rough dimensions soon. Can only be a few quid to buy too I imagine.

Thanks for all your replys most definately helpful!

This was recommended to me and it works perfectly and looks pretty good too,cost less than a fiver, you will need to drill a hole in it for your hanger,there's a pic on my project thread here's the link for eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160674432395#ht_2472wt_1156

When I had the prima racing ones, it made my exhaust sit too high and it meant the exhaust was knocking when going over bumps.

Replaced with my old mangled exhaust mount with a 13mm socket cable tied in to keep it upright and it's spot on.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

What exhaust have you got Will?

 

[Will.]

K-tec stealth.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

That's what I've got on mine too the mk1 version though. I've not got any knocking...yet.

i have just bought a standard mount and im reading that everyone has upgraded 1s. Does this mean the 1 i bought will break pretty easy or are they ok?

Depending on which backbox you have (the weight) will determine how long it lasts. It doesnt "break" as such, but after a few days/weeks it will sag at offer no real support to the box.
