Manifold Advice
T66 - 18/5/13 at 12:33 PM

Been busy making an exhaust manifold, my plan is to use spring & eye retainers on the 4 pipes into the collector. Am I better off hard mounting the collector to the chassis, or arranging it on a rubber bobbin type thing ?

Do I need to soft mount all of the system on bobbins for the vibration etc ? exhaust virgin....



Cheers

Can you hang the collector off the engine?
So manifold and collector move as one, is your engine hard mounted or on av mounts?

Engine is hard mounted to the chassis

Personally I would rubber mount everything to reduce vibration and reduce stress.

Rubber mount engine and exhaust if possible for best results imho. Cheers

Me too! Or fit a small flexy in the system.

I thought of either a bobbin mounted to the chassis and then u clamped round the exit side of the collector, what I might do now is fit a flexi after the collector aswell as the bobbin.





cheers guys
