exhaust brackets

[mulletman]

hi guys, ive ordered a turbo back miltek system and im starting to worry after reading a few threads that they knock no matter what you do, so im now confused why people have said they are good quality, my car isnt and wont be lowered so can i over come this, and are stronger brackets available for it, i'd love some info on this please guys, thanks daz

Maybe you can bend the exhaust more accurately.... that'll be the reason it hits.

May well be worth getting some harder exhaust mounts if you can - that way it won't 'sag'

i brought new mounts for jock to use when he fitted my turbo back miltek a couple of days ago which jock told me helped but didnt totally solve the knocking, I think theres not a lot that can be done about it seeing as its a bigger bore system and isnt built on the car, im still pleased to bits with mine though, the sound more than makes up for it.

Powerflex make uprated polyurethane exhaust mountings...available from your local ripspeed/halfords, dont expect the spotty 16 y/o monkey behind the desk though to able to find the catalogue lol, they dont get asked for them much!

if its sagging you can use cable ties and "firm" up the bush by tightening round its circumference. the sportstek exhaust i had for the cordy was a heavy bugger and pulled at the bushes too.

you can get the bushes with metal strngthener in, cant you?

 

[mulletman]

thats what i meant forbez, and i used cable ties on my old cupra with the miltek and that helped but thought that the better brackets would be better still, where can i buy some? thanks guys daz

 

[davidol]

as i said you might not be able to get them as the mk3 cupra has metal brackets with incorporated rubber hangers but try powerflex through halfords

 

[mulletman]

thanks david, its just my last miltek knocked and i dont have a lot of patients,i couldnt stand it, i did get rid of the knock just as i sold it though, typically, cheers again daz

Hmmm, mine isnt lowered and mine knocks, was real bad untill i put a shorter rubber mount in there, still knocks every so often though.

Will be taking the angle grinder to it soon...

[Forbez]

Daz any pic's of those mounts mate, so i know what to look for?

Mine doesn't bang, but then it aint lowered yet.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Will do when I get around to it dude.

 

[Forbez]

Either that or a pointer to them on a website would be great, that way i know what i'm lookin for.
