Exhaust Mounts

[Meatball]

I've had my exhaust bouncing about a bit, and the old rubber mounts look shot, totally streched. Could anyone be useful and tell me if it is a simple job to change these? It looks simple enough on the exhaust itself, but I'm not sure about getting them onto the car itself. Cheers!

long socket extension, 13mm bolts easy peasy

Nice one, job for tomorrow as long as the rain holds off! Am I right in thinking the rubber parts are pretty much universal, as long as they look about right they should be fine?

the rubber bit and the metal bit holding it onto the car are all one piece if im not mistaken

 

[m0rk]

yup, the rubber is fixed to the metal clamps

I've been looking at my exhaust again (a fun, event filled saturday!) wondering if anyone can help with this: The very rear mount, I'm unsure if it is standard or not, is almost ripped off

I'm asking to find out if this one is a case of take the exhaust off and twist out (as if it had replaced a bolt) or if i need to unbolt it somewhere, as i've looked around and cannot find a bolt anywhere!

powerflow system, was installed before I got the car. Garage said I'd probably be best trying to take it to the place it was originally doe to look at it, but it's half an hour out of town, thought i'd see if i could get any suggestions here first! How is it meant to be attached, I'm guessing the unused bolt just to the left (in the picture) has something to do with the exhaust...

I've already had to get the clamp between the centre and rear section replaced as it had rotted through, only a 3 year old system(!) Maybe obvious questions but I've not seen what it's supposed to be like: Does this look like it would still be OK if a standard mount was used?
