Exhaust sag
« on: 27 March 2004, 11:25 »
Just wondered if anyone else suffers from the exhaust hanging down low at the back. I've fitted new rubbers to the whole system and loosened it all off and tightened and realigned it back up.

The back box always seems to sag on the rubber mounts and hangs low. I think I may have to try the mounts with chains in them.

Get some Proflex mounts they should help!  I've got them on mine.  There alot firmer than rubber.

If you give me your e-mail I can send you some pictures of the different types of mounts, which Proflex sent me.

From experience of a h-e-a-v-y G60 corrado exhaust, it seems like the VW rubbers tend to stretch a lot... id say proflex aswell...but i imaginge they are a bit hard to get on ??
