Which exhaust rubbers

[Rikki Kitto]

Having problems with my exhaust banging on the tunnel, think it might have the wrong rubbers on it holding it too high. Any idea what ones I should have, part numbers etc, its coupe

These ones on a Coupe: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty...item565e26c573

Non-chain hangers are a waste of time.

It's also possible the joint is not done up straight, or you have the cat at a funny angle, meaning it is too close to the tunnel.

I have used poly hangers mate and seems to have worked a treat with a zip tie or two round each hanger... Holds the exhaust in place perfectly. (just doesnt look the best when peering underneath but if it helps then im all for it)

[Rikki Kitto]

Put some cable ties on to see what happens but need to restrict upward movement which this doesn't do

[Christophski]

Try the poly hangers then as they are stiffer than oem rubber so will help reduce amount of movement even in the upwards direction.

[Rikki Kitto]

Where you get them from?

[Bowie69]

The chain reinforced ones are VERY stiff, difficult to get on and give excellent control out of the box, including upward movement.

thanks guys

Umm the poly ones I got are generic rubbish from halfrauds and I had to trim one to fit but its done a good job but if you can get the metal ones then maybe you wont need the zip ties??? I may try them some point if I can find some... Still, the poly ones work well if you get hold of them easier.

[Bowie69]

The metal ones certainly don't need zip ties, and buying from Ebay is pretty easy

Had these on mine as I got fed up with replacing the OE ones every 6 months !
Very hard to fit (two exhaust centres refused to fit them)
In the end Protyre by me fitted them but they had to bend the brackets down a touch then bend them back when fitted !
Zero movement on my exhaust when fitted

Got mine from John at Cander enterprises for around £20 the pair.

[Bowie69]

Yep, I think the workshop manual says you will need to bend them out, fit, then bend back.

[Bowie69]

Oh, and there is 3 on a coupe, 2 on the rear box, one on the middle box.

The chain re inforced are excellent. The polys are tosh. They just melt.
I went through loads on my old mk2 golf on a miltek. Fitted the chain re inforced job done...

Looks it's the chain jobbies then thanks for the input guys
