my observation of exhaust hangers leads me to believe some things just cant really beat OEM... i love those weird shaped exhaust hangers that come stock, i've never seen one rip or break the exhaust piping or anything weird.

i also like the long strap style, the guy who originally did my exhaust used long straps to hold the tail pipes up, i've sideswiped the *** end and exhaust through snow berms, didnt bend it or rip anything out.
