Title: Does anybody know where I can get exhaust rubbers with chains?
Post by: Neo Badness on 08 November 2011, 19:39
Does anybody know where I can get these from for cheaper?

Or is that about the going rate? They need to have the chains built into them or be proper heavy duty.

Search for the Powerflex ones on eBay, they have a thick plastic centre piece that might be cheaper.

I've done that, I've seen these and they are cheaper...

Only thing is I had proper Powerflex exhaust rubbers on there previously and they have snapped. Granted it's been 3yrs since they were fitted but someone recommended the ones with chain in them. Thinking I'm going to replace as much as I can with s/s and decent bushes. I will nip down the moto factors Thursday to see what they have kicking about.

im sure i had powerflex ones. what ever they were they were stupid hard to fit to the hangers, had no play in them. i would go for the durable rubber ones instead of chains just because i think the chain ones will give absolutly no flex in the system. up to you

Not sourced any as yet, between college and work I seem to only have time to flop on the couch before getting up to do it all again. :undecided:

Dubious about getting powerflex ones again as the last lot snapped, albeit with a fair amount of abuse. Going to  try and get up early (ish) tomorrow and go down to motor factors and see what they have. Used OEM ones last time and they snapped after a few weeks.

Will have a look on venom too cheers.

I remember someone saying on here that they had rubber mounts with chain in them but finding them for sensible money is proving harder than I thought.
