I cannot say. They dont really stretch due to the hard rubber and are for standard mounting points. The whole point is they dont allow much in the way of movement but soft enough so you dont have issues like snapping exhaust hangers due to engine movement.

Hmm this is my problem mate, i've currently got standard ones on and the exhaust sits perfect in the cutout but the rubbers are probably stretched just under a centimetre, but ive watched someone drive my car and when goin over a bump the exhaust wobbles side to side and is making a tinging noise...i assume i need these to stop the tinging but im unsure if they'll fit?

Would it be possible to just buy one off you and see if they fit or do you sell them only as a set? Or could i maybe buy a set and if it wont fit return it?

Cheers

Sorry Marcus didn't see your post, so thats down to kam ones or the motorsport ones on ebay...is there any difference between the two?

And kam, I went to take some pics if this will help....as you can see my tailpipe sits pretty much spot on and i don't wanna compromise this with those long universal powerflex rubbers:



Here is the mounts, they aren't actually as stretched as I first assumed so yours may fit:





And with cable ties round it to see if this would tighten it and stop movement temporarily....it didn't lol:

AL3X_ 19th September 2011 00:44

yeah the keyrings a car or sumert init lol?

Are they able to stretch at all mate, like mine are in the pics?

mate they shouldnt have to stretch at all the hangers on the exhaust are made wrong if its sitting at the correct hight. Personnaly i would get them to weld longer hangers on solve all your problems in one go.

Cam 19th September 2011 00:51

Yer a purple car lol..

And yer they can but not much had a bit of a struggle getting them on mine :y:

I know the hangers are made slightly wrong mate but I don't have the receipt for the backbox so they wouldn't honour it and would probably make me buy a new backbox, i think some firmer rubbers that will stretch a tiny bit will work, even if I had the hangers made longer it would still hit I assume, even though I can't find where it is hitting.

Ah I see mate, are your hangers short as well or just normal?

Cam 19th September 2011 17:04

Yerr one of mine is short mate.

AL3X_ 19th September 2011 17:57

Ah cool, must be a Powerflex thing lol, sorry to be a pain but did you fit yours before the powerflex engine mount? may be why you didn't get any noises when you fitted it.

Cam 19th September 2011 20:32

Na had engine mount on a while before mate.

AL3X_ 19th September 2011 20:35

Ahh, maybe these wont work then :/
