knocking exhaust (help)

[phillyc]

I know it might have been covered before but its midnight so cant be bothered searching around lol,

basically I have a straight through exhaust including manifold on my mk2 vtr and it was fitted by a pro but under the car near where the down pipe joins the system there is a metal bar going across with a bend in it which the exhaust passes through but it seems to be knocking on this bar alot when going round corners so what can I do to stop it.

all mounts are secure before anyone suggests that lol.

please help its so ennoying

I seen some racing exhaust mounts on ebay u think they mite be more stronger and hold the exhaust better to stop it moving so much or r they pretty much the same as standard

hmmmmmmmmmm i dnt no sounds like its coming from the fron with mine like where it joins the mani might of done the mani bolts up too tight so no the springs cant bend freely with the car ???

[stupotvtr]

you could put a cable tie around the exhaust rubbers and pull it tight this would move it lower. donno if that helps

pics?

I found the problem it was the bolts at the bottom of the manifold as boarer 2004 said so cheers mate ill try giv u rep. after a hour messing around trying the figure it out I had to tighten the bolt on the right ( i was facing the front of the car) so it hardly had any play in the spring and loosen the 1 on the left a tiny bit and problem solved, bit of a weird fing to do but it worked.

just thought i would let u all know incase it helps any1 else out.
