Bcs downpipe

[S38pkyle-ing]

I’ve FINALLY bought a BCS downpipe and 200 cell sports cat. Cannot wait for it to be fitted. My drama is; I’ve heard you need a powerflex lower engine mount bush for it.

How vital is it I buy and fit one of these? Or does it not really matter.

Apologies guys I’m pretty new to upgrading my car! Cheers (Y)

BCS advise you fit one (they fitted at the time they fitted my system) as there isn’t much space for twist without the engine or prop shaft hitting your downpipe.

The powerflex is about 25£ and easy to fit - might as well do it while it’s on the hoist getting the dp fitted. Replace the bolt as it’s a stretch bold (although I didn’t!) and torque it to 100 ft lb + 90deg.

My observation for what it’s worth - the mount does really increase the vibration when stationery.

BCS exhausts are epic mate.

I can definitely 2nd what Sam has said as i have just recently got a Turboback Bcs powervalve and yip the lads at Bcs explained about dogbone mount and it was easy to fit and works a dream and exhaust sounds awesome .

Haven't fitted mine and the exhaust has been on for over a year with no problems
