Magnex 4 Branch

Recommended Posts

205mattgti

i have a stainless steel magnax 4 branch manifold

 

it knocks like anything on the bulk head

 

has anyone else got this problem, i am running all the baker bushes engine mounts so its not caused by sloppy worn out mounts

 

any ideas how to stop the knocking without getting heavy with a big hammer

 

many thanks

 

 

matt

What are the exhaust hangers like? If they are soft then the exhaust can move a lot even if you have decent engine mounts.

could it be that the engine isn't located properly on the new mounts - ?

 

and is it deffo the bulkhead? only reason i ask is that the middle box on some systems can knock against the exhaust tunnel

check the gear links between stick and the subframe as they sometimes knock here. A simple slight bend in the linkage sorts it.
