Stop exhaust mount sagging?

[AmDaMan]

Hi, is this possible on the 172? Bought a new exhaust mount just last month and already the exhaust is sagging a little, how can you stop this as it looks rubbish when it's not flush against the bumper!

Only thing you can do i belive is incert mini bits of pipe through the holes and tie wrap them in place.

There are pictures on here somewhere

i just got some other exhaust rubbers and chopped them to fill the gaps, then stabbed a screwdriver through to put a plastic tie throught to hold in palce

ha ha that looks ace!

Where do you get the tubing that size from?

It looks like copper with a rubber surround!

I had trouble with mine sagging for ages,

but it was actually twisting where the backbox joins the rest - I stuck on another clamp & did the two up very tight - no probs for a year at least.

Its worth checking this

Its 1/2 inch copper tubing mate, and a metre length of coolant hose that slides over the copper snugly, cut them into 3 little pieces, cable tie them in as in the pic and hey presto!

I used old tyre valves that were taken out of my old wheels. (pop in Kwik fit and ask for a couple) The tepred design means you can slide them in until it goes rock hard.

Used it for best part of 8000 miles with no probs.
