Anypne know if these are a standard item or do I need to get them from a TVR dealer?

About to attempt to replace the standard exhaust with a JP; I've printed instructions from a previous thread so have a bit of guidance, but just noted a comment from someone at then end about replacing the rubbers.

I suspect they are specialst parts, rather than just standard 'rubbers' but dont know for sure. When I changed my zorst, I had a good look at them and no sign of any damage, so decided to leave them on.

Good luck, try to leave the splitter on if you can, bit of pain getting it back on. Assistance may well be required for that.

Mine look OK, but the fit of the new exhaust is pushing them sideways so there's a bit more lateral stress on the rubber. I'll order some from TVR Power just in case they go after a few thousand miles.

I had to take the splitter off. I was having great difficulty in getting the rubbers to slide off the old exhaust and was pussying about trying not to lean on the splitter. Ended up taking the mounts off with the old exhaust.

New exhaust on; just having a quick lunch break before I start her up, check for leaks and then reassemble.

Luckily a neighbour is around to help put the splitter back on.

They are a standard part and are fitted to many cars. VW Corrado and Golf GTi for example. Go to your local car accessory shop and ask to browse through there exhaust catalogue, start at the back ie VW only about £3 each. The ones I got have lasted longer than the originals.

Yep, they look like the hangers/mounts. VW it is then.

Got it all done with the help of a neighbour. I'm not mechanical, so it probably took me a lot longer than it should have done. Good sense of achievement though.

Sounds good - lot's of pops and bangs, and aggressive under beanz!

Hardest part of the job was the hangers; getting the splitter back was easy. I rested it on three axle stands. I know for next time, that I will remove the splitter first, and the exhaust mounts. Don't know what it's like on a 350 but they're reasonably easy to get to on the Tam. Did need some brute force to get the mounts back on the car when they were on the new exhaust.

Anyway, job done and out for a run (hopefully top down) tomorrow!
