S2 coupe with uprated exaust hangers

[mac2226]

Hi anybody used uprated exaust hangers before been thinking of using powerflex universal hangers which happens to have a similar one to coupe

[gripper]

I have them on mine (2 on the backbox) as I got fed up of replacing the standard ones every 6 months.

there used to be a chain reinforced OEM set which I still have on my car from years back. I'm not sure if these are still available from Audi but they are (blooooody) stiff and hold everything as it should be!

Should be possible to dig up the p/n using the search. If i get a mo will have a nosey

Yes the correct items have a steel chain in them and never break.

[gripper]

Fitment is not easy though as there is no 'give' in them !
Normal exhaust hanging tools are useless and I had to bend one of the brackets down then bend it back up when I had put the rubber on.
Bloody tight now though and the exhaust is not going anywhere

My recollection is that the rubber hanger with the chain inside is from a VW Golf Mk1 or 2, used near the cat. I think.

Steve Creswell at C & R Enterprises should be able to assist you, if you can't get them anywhere else.

New oem factory rubber hangers work fine for me at the two locations at the back of the S2 Avant.

I found the chain one is good for the exhaust hanger location point under the rear seat of the urS6 C4 body.

That's great thanks for advice people just had 3" tb exaust system made and they said the rubbers where getting passed there sell by date

I used powerflex ones, but cut in half to make them the right width. (only thing I could buy on a sunday)

Not cheap and very difficult to put on unless you bend the bracket, as mentioned above....I bought 2 recently here:

Less than half price here, bought 3 recently: http://www.candrenterprises.co.uk/sh...t-product.html

Err, that's the same place and pretty much the same price if you look again.

Ive bought these from here before, great service. I actually cut the centre rubber piece out of the mounts i got to leave a chain reinforced rubber ring. This gave the mount a little more flexibility when fitting the exhaust back on.

oh.... missed the 'Pair' bit, great first post(!)

Hopefully my next post will be more helpful

So dragging this one up again... I have a stainless system fitted on my avant. Do you guys think that if i get 3 of these (2 for the back box and 1 for the rear of the center section) i will be able to get all to fit nicely???

[Bowie69]

Yes.
