exhaust mounts

[s.mac]

does anyone know if there are any others mounts that you can buy apart from these?

I have just changed 1 that snapped when fitting a new custom made exhaust and noticed another has gone, the old ones have a metal surround but the replacements are as in the pic, rubber only and they don't look up to the job and gives the exhaust quite a bit of movement, it now rubs on the carbon diffuser when going over bumps :banghead:
and they are £38 each!! robbing _ _ _ _ _

At the same time you should change the smaller rubber mounts near the cat's, they also go and are quite cheap !

I didnt spot those but will have a look, thanks

The bracket is a separate part that you purchase separately (part 10 below 18207839657). Don't just put the rubber mount on there without the bracket it'll rip itself to pieces in no time.

just check mine, also broken :banghead:

Also check No.8s ... there are two of these, mounted onto a steel plate that is bolted to the chassis. These support the mid pipes, before the back box. Mine became week after the long Ring weekend (thank U Karussell) and now the exhaust bangs on the suspension, when going over bumps. £20 all in for 2X mounts & associated nuts has just been ordered from the Main Steelers :thumbs:

thanks for the info, I havent bought the separate part (10) :banghead: and will need to check the rest of the underneath :whistle:

I cant believe they've gone from quite a good mount to separate rubber piece and backing plate, the new one doesn't even have a steel support in the centre for the exhaust, I cant see them lasting long even with a backing plate :whistle:

i didn't notice the way it fits:

metal part (of part number 10) facing the exhaust, or on the other direction ?
