GSF ones have always done me proud. Where did yours come from. Iirc you can get wire reinforced ones. Did you have the ring ones or the proper figure of 8 ones.

They can break as well, although it takes a bit longer.

Post by: walchy01 on 01 August 2011, 20:02: Stainless steel exhaust system is on the car, anyone think the weight of it could be the issue with rubber breaking time after time...

Post by: AudiA8Quattro on 01 August 2011, 21:14: It depends if it is hung correctly.

Yeah, I had one break. Popped into a local exhaust place and they gave me a couple of free hangers for free!

Post by: DOA on 03 August 2011, 14:13: Try some polybush ones, VW ones just are not built to last with heavy StSt systems regardless of how they are put on. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-MK2-Exhaust-Mountings-Bushes-Poly-/390281317117?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ade944afd
