New part request - Poly Exhaust Bushings? - Focaljet

**elderfeces** · 09-22-2006, 12:29 AM

Don't know if anyone has asked you guys for these yet, but what do you guys think about making some poly exhaust bushings? The stock rubber ones just aren't getting the job done anymore, and my exhaust clunks and rattles around towards the rear of my car something fierce. I have been only able to find a set from a company in the U.K. and they didn't have any in stock when I inquired about them. If you guys could make up a batch, I would buy a set in a heartbeat. Anyone else with me on this one?

Thanks, guys - you totally rock, and I can't wait to see what fun new stuff you guys bring to the Focus community next!

**lowlifestyle** · 09-24-2006, 04:29 AM

I think I would be down for a set of these.

**boosted00focuszx3** · 09-24-2006, 06:32 AM

id be in

**CWCZX3** · 09-24-2006, 01:38 PM

You guys wouldn't have to make them you could just import some of these as a distributor.

I would buy some to hold my 3 in exhaust.

**elderfeces** · 09-24-2006, 03:58 PM

I think that was the place i contacted awhile back, but I am not sure.

Already asked, nobody cared. But I have recently discovered the PowerFlex ones and will trying to be sourcing some soon.

**comtal** · 09-25-2006, 10:41 AM

I'd love to get a set of those. It would be one less clunk to have to worry about at the track ....

**elderfeces** · 09-25-2006, 06:08 PM

So what about it guys? Is this worth it? Hell, I'll buy 2 sets!

**cfmfocus2** · 09-28-2006, 10:11 AM

It looks interesting. We will have to do more research into this.

**sleeperlove** · 09-28-2006, 10:23 AM

i would buy a set me thinks

**mievil** · 09-28-2006, 01:23 PM

Holy crap. Just think of how hard it is to get the exhaust out of the stock hangers.

Interesting idea.

**boosted00focuszx3** · 09-28-2006, 03:29 PM

lol yeh that would be fun

think of a vf motor mount substance holding in your exhaust hangers. Probley would have to break out some major lubrication

**CaysE** · 10-03-2006, 02:04 PM

what is the point of poly exhaust mounts? Don't you want the exhaust to be able to move so nothing cracks?

**comtal** · 10-03-2006, 02:20 PM

You want your exhaust to move a "bit". Problem is, at least with mine, that the thing can swing several inches thus banging the underbody.
Grab your tailpipe and try moving it side to side. You'll be amazed at the amount of movement allowed.

**orangeZXT** · 10-06-2006, 10:11 PM

im very much in need of aset anyway and this would be better than stock

**bluebyutoo** · 10-06-2006, 10:14 PM

I could use some myself.

**jonfrow** · 10-08-2006, 06:25 PM

me also.

**bsanford** · 10-09-2006, 09:33 PM

I need two sets. Last time I was under my cars both sets looked like ****.

**CWCZX3** · 01-17-2007, 09:34 PM

Any updates?

**topherdopher** · 01-18-2007, 02:24 AM

I'm also interested

**Qwik1** · 01-18-2007, 04:36 AM

Me too. If this EVER happens, I will be all over these. CFM, are you listening?

**cfmfocus2** · 01-18-2007, 12:58 PM

We are trying to work with powerflex to look into exporting those over here.

**CWCZX3** · 01-18-2007, 09:55 PM

Cool keep us up to date on the progress.

**Smoe** · 01-19-2007, 09:57 AM

Why not just fill in the stockers with 3m urethane window adhesive? I did this with some motor mounts and I am happy with how stiff that stuff is when its dry. Still need to install them

**natedog_1959** · 01-19-2007, 03:05 PM

I would be down for a set. Nate
