Powerflex exhaust mount

Recommended Posts

No idea - but I'd talk to Vince at Stealth.

 

Do you have Powerflex suspension bushes etc ??

 

I'm considering 'em and would appreciate some views.

I've got them - they're a huge improvement if you have a heavy exhaust. go to motorsportworld.co.uk and theyll get the right ones for you.

motorsportworld sent all 4 on the same postage... doubt anyone would charge postage individually

I've used the powerflex exhaust mounts before, and in my opinion utter rubbish!

 

basically melted on vinces rolling road during mapping session, then replaced the melted ones, then after a day at santa pod they melted again!

 

I now use the exhaust rubbers with chains in, cant remember who/where i got the from, but not had any problems since!

VR6Will, yeah heard about people melting them before but only on FI motors... hence I wouldn''t use on the G60 but I've had them on the TDI for ages and showing no wear at all and a mate has had some on a mk2 GTi for a few years now...

 

Ford OE rubbers have chains in them - C&R sell them

I dont take my g60 on the track or quarter mile - does get driven hard every now and again though - and not had any problems with them at all.

Believe the shape of the bungees vary quite significantly throughout different car ranges though

had a full set on mine with the standard exhaust with a cat bypass and they lasted two weeks, they all stretched and snapped after doing a 200 mile trip, someone suggested my timing could have been out a bit but i had it checked and it was spot on.

 

starting to think it could be the cat bypass is allowing the exhaust to get hotter than normal?

 

i think i am going to change the exhaust and hangars to the bar type as they are much stronger and dont let the exhaust bounce around.
