Polyurethane exhaust hangers
Anyone have these on their GS? Where did you buy them?
My exhaust is sagging a bit on the driver's side so I was going to replace all the hangers and figured I might go with something stiffer.

Any reason why you want stiff? You may get more vibration into your cabin with urethane. I thought about going with polyurethane but in the end, rubber was much cheaper, and I didn't want unwanted vibration.

I doubt that it would really make any noticeable difference in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness).
I'm more hoping for longevity and keeping the exhaust tight to the car (less vibration over bumps, at startup, etc).

I have these on my 3gen GS. Helps out a lot with the car being lower. No issues or noises with mine. I purchased mine from a local tuner but you can get these anywhere.

I'm going to get under the car tomorrow and check the condition of the existing hangers (~120k mi on the chassis). I'll also get a count for how many I'll need to order; I'm guessing eight total (4 for each side).

I haven't sourced the polyurethane hangers yet but I thought I'd update the thread with info on the hanger type and sizes that I've found so far.
Apex'i makes harder rubber exhaust hangers and they list the following types. I've attached a diagram of each.
I looked under my GS today and found that it uses two of the "Type-D"-style in front of the diff (two total; one on each pipe). The mufflers are hung with two of the "Type-A"-style (so four total, two on each muffler).
On a side note, once I got under the car I realized why the exhaust was sagging on the left side: One of the hangers wasn't attached.
I've found a source for the "Type-D"-style hangers (in polyurethane). I'm still looking for the "Type-A"-style ones.
I'll update this thread again when I have more information.
