Guest xr3idan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 hi guys, prob the wrong forum to post about exhaust but didnt know where else to put it any way my prob is that ive put a new downpipe on emily as the old one was cracked and blowing, now the new one looks great and sealed fine, untill i drove it. now ive been trying to get it to seal for weeks and its fine till i take her out, i also noticed that my system only has one rubber throughout (at the backbox) arnt they ment to have more than this? i think this is my prob, any one got any ideas? thanks Dan.

Guest escott1973i Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 am missing a rubber roughly about level with the rear springs where the exhaust U-bends on the last 3 of my cabby's I noticed looking a RScabs 2 tintops the had mounts there. ive ended up making a temp bracket to hold it in place seems to do the job hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xr3idan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 is there not supposed to be a mount about level with where the doors close and meet bodywork? surely my downpipe will never seal with all the weight hanging from the manifold and backbox????

danmk4escort Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 you have a two into 1 down pipe then onto a flandge with two nuts and bolts check the down pipe side as they crack due to front gear box mount movment . hanging hooks ony one hanging hook on centre box rear the inner sill then one more on the back box to the floor the other one on the u bend is for the 90 spec cabs and rs turbos hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 ive got the hanger underneath for the u bend but no mount welded onto the exhaust itself looks like someone has took it off for a later model maybe ive tried one of these bodged onto the cars hanger but its not working very well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Exhaust-Kit-Car-Adjustable-Bracket-Mount-Hanger-Strap-Band-Clamp-Pipe-/280964832301?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item416acf1c2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baldstumpy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Try your local motor factor, ask if they have a Bosal exhaust catalogue you could browse through. You should find a bracket to do the job in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xr3idan Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 ok, the downpipe is 2 into one, with 3 nuts and bolts which are all fine, i guess the next step is to find out what mounts i have on the underside of the car, in guessing the whole exhaust system has been played with because as i say i only have the one mount on the back box.
