Exhaust backbox sitting too low - mounts?

10th February 2005, 04:16

I've just fitted my new piper backbox to my '03 VTR, looks and sounds great and was easy to fit, however......

It, in my opinion, is sitting about an inch too low, I want it to be closer to the bumper as per this:

(the same backbox as mine btw)

I've done a bit of researching, and have seen everyone recommending Proflex exhaust mounts. But i'm not sure which size to order - how big / long are the standard rubber Saxo exhaust mounts on the backbox (both of them)?

If anyone knows that'd be a great help, otherwise it's back under the car with a measure...... (sorry, just being lazy!)

Maybe one of your rubber bungs, or even both are slightly streched. if so, go to halfords or something and get a replacement.

Halfords also do a kind of universal one , that you may be able to use to bring you b/b higher up

or use some cable ties around the rubber mounts to bring them up a bit

I don't think they're stretched, the car is only a year or so old! Think i'm gonna order some of those proflex mounts, heard good things about them and they're pretty cheap too. Cheers anyway guys!
