after a long evening of firing on my powerflow exhaust it has raised another little concern for me.
the old rubbers are a little 'worn' so I am going to replace all 3 of the rubbers. But is it best to get some uprated items or just go for the standard items???
any links to decent ones would be much appreciated
cheers
dave

#10: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:09 am ---- Try Powerflex or Superflex web sites ... poly hangers not rubber so don't stretch have as much.

IIRC Tarmac-Terrorist used some powerflex ones but they arent car specific.
#12: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:38 am ---- Ordered some polyflex ones at £4.61 a piece. They are universal at 70mmX50mm
Will let u know what there like when they come.
Apprarently they are miles better from the reviews. Got them from ruderacing
Cheers

#13: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:14 am ---- Yer let us no mate as if you reccomend them I'll get some haha
#14: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:05 am ---- I've got them on my Alfa 156 ... big improvement although two of the originals had broken. Hard to get on so use some copperslip/coppergrease on them. The 156 has "heads" on most of the hanger fittings so you have to really push/pull to get the harder poly bush over them.
May look at getting some for the 206 CC as the exhaust is out of line on that one and the two rearmost hanger rubbers are already pulled tighter with tiewraps!
Halford's sell the powerflex hangers but they add a big markup! I got mine off a couple of ebay sellers ... much cheaper as I needed six for the Alfa! Last edited by gazza82 on Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:07 am; edited 1 time in total
#15: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:07 am ---- Yeh just fy my confirmation. Under £14 for all 3 bargain!!!
Not to bad on the powerflow exhaust as it doesnt have any lips or knobs to hold it on. Just a straight bar pretty much :/
Will keep u informed. Got to be better than the more than likely 12 yr old kit that is already there
Cheers
Dave
#16: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 3:51 pm ---- Well recieved my polyflex ones and they are awesome!!!
Massively improve the hight of the exhaust and stops the flex under load now. Really happy with them and at under a £5 a piece a good buy!!!
Measurements are 70mmX50mm and are near as identicle as the oem ones
Deffo worth the money. Got them from ruderacing and recieved them next day to so even better!!!
Hope it helps some people
Cheers
Dave
#17: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:03 pm ---- under £5? all the ones i see are £5.23??
#18: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:11 pm ---- They have took them off at that price.
Just got my invoice out.
£13.83 inc VAT and delivery!!
Robbing wanks putting there prices up!!!!
Well worth it tho pal
Dave
#19: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:01 pm ---- You might find they had to replace their stock and the new ones cost them more!
Think a couple of my Alfa's powerflex hangers came from them .. the rest I just hunted for the best price on fleabay.
Avoid Halfrauds if you don't want to get royally ripped off on Powerflex parts ...
#20: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:03 pm ---- Either that or they have seen the post on here and we are advertising their business
#21: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 6:02 pm ---- Remember they won't make the car handle better just because they are stiffer and say performance on them
In my experience the Halfords ones are crap. Two snapped and they kept slipping off.

#23: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:25 pm ---- Mine have been awesome since being on the car!!

Then stop the engine moving so much with stiffer mounts.

It's just stiff rubber it will stretch stick some lube on there
#27: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: Jammie_1989, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 3:02 pm ---- Will they fit a 180? My exhaust is hanging a little lower than I would like
but the reason I don't think they will fit is because on my backbox it has a larger diameter then what is on these hangers
if you look at these on ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peu...4d003d04c9
You can see there is a difference between the two holes.

#32: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Fri Apr 27, 2012 8:34 am ---- They are the ones i got pal

#33: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: Jammie_1989, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:52 am ---- Anybody with a 180 don't get the EXH005 as it sits the same as a standard one that has stretched

Yeah looks like a no go for 206 gti 180 - for me anyway - I went off the post with the measurements from within the post and worked it out to the EXH005 - Can see why you say that looking at the phone comparing the two:
Plus the size of the hole that attaches to my exhaust is way too small - no about of lube will allow it to fit.
Here are the pictures of the hangers and exhaust on my 206 GTI 180:

this is not just a 180 problem.
I bought some a month ago for my 2002 138 and only 1 will fit (middle box).
seems i have the same problem, as the tailpipe are much large diameter.
Guess i gotta go hunt some more polys
#37: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri May 25, 2012 6:31 am ---- Cant you use some copper grease/wd40 then hit them on with a hammer?
I would just get a drill and make the holes a tad bigger.
#38: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Fri May 25, 2012 7:59 am ---- update:
i thought fook it and went mad, slammed on the wd and actually managed to get them on
There is not much movement on them now but who cares there on
so gotta go wild if u want them on a 180
i woulda felt real good if i hadent spotted a hole by the middle box, right where it joins.Ah well time to patch it and save for a steelie
#39: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Jun 11, 2012 4:10 am ---- So would the same EXH005 hangers fit on the 138 bhp exhaust ... preferably a CC exhaust?
#40: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:37 am ---- So is the EXH005 an ideal fit for the 138?
#41: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:58 pm ---- i got the above red rubber and got to say what a load of s**t, they flex just as much as not having one on, mu back box now hits the bumper so in need of a more solid mount ??

#43: Re: exhaust rubbers Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:25 pm ---- no mate its bin fine for 5years till my cooper s rubber split changed for the above and i myt as well not have it on, i thought my axle was knakkerd it was that bad think its because the center of the rubber isent suported so it flexes side to side. may stick it in the center of the car and get new back ones.............good job i only got the one lol
