Magnex rubber hanger advice

[neuon2003 0]

I need to replace the rubber hangers on a Magnex and need some advice on what to use, please? I have the Magnex specific mount for the exhaust tip end (position A). Currently fitted is a motley collection of rubber hangers (A-C), per the photos below, which I think are as follows:

 

A=Hanger supplied by Magnex

B=Standard VR6 hanger for this position

C=Ford Transit hangers (I think)

(D=Standard VW hanger for position A and C, just for comparison.)

 

What do other Magnex users use? Is it OK to use the standard VW hangers in positions A, B and C, or is there a need for an alternative in position A and C as below?

 

Many thanks,

Bump! Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks.

am sure on mine i used standard rubber hangers for A+C and seem to remember having one with the metal attached like your B

i have that system

im using d in the middle,b as you show for the back box and then a powerflex one very similar to a.

 

i have found the vag ones are stretching so im just looking for 2 more powerflex ones so then it will all be powerflex and then just that one mounting b..

i can get the powerflex number if you want but there expensive.

 

if that helps

The power flex ok, but i found mine sytarted to squeak after a while haha. A bit annoying.

 

Id say standard hangers. Whats with the transit hangers.

Thanks for the replies; very helpful. Seems like just using the standard hangers should work.

 

I also found two old threads of interest from 2008. One which talks about using VW heavy duty hangers (A/C) (http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?39998-What-exhaust-rubbers-do-you-all-use&p=508358&viewfull=1#post508358) and the other with a part number and supplier for the Magnex one (A) which were £8 +VAT each http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?38326-Magnex-parts&p=484414&viewfull=1#post484414.

 

Interesting opinions about the Powerflex hangers potentially being too stiff (as well as squeaky)?

 

I am visiting a specialist local exhaust factors and Andrew Page's to see if they can identify the Magnex hanger (A) for maybe a bit cheaper than Magnex supply.

 

As for the Ford Transit hangers, no idea - previous owner. When I bought the Corrado a couple of years ago, the Magnex was banging against the bumper cut-out. That was sorted with some cable ties round each of the rubbers to stiffen them up. Maybe the Transit rubbers were used as they are used to carry a much bigger/heavier exhaust, so were stiffer? Anyway, they are well past their prime now, so I'll try some new hangers.

 

Thanks again.
