Exhaust hanger bushings (poly)?

After buying my cat-back, I've been searching for a couple days and can't seem to find these on anyones website. I'm looking for the red poly replacement hangers for the cat-back exhaust.

I know I've seen them offered before, but can't remember who carried them. Anyone know?

Awesome, thanks Omega, I knew someone had them, sucks they're ~$100 shipped though
I must have checked every vendor but JBP, I think I'm still mad at them for the shitty CAB's they sell. I've seen several sets of them disintegrate

I'm sure I'd be fine re-using my stockers, but I'd rather not have my brand new exhaust sagging and rub on anything

Are there 4 bushings attaching the stock cat back?? I thought I only remembered seeing 2-3, but that's the only part of my car I haven't pulled off yet, so I'm probably wrong.

But if we don't need 4, than the price isn't so bad, Damn i feel like a newb today. I should know these things

i dunno if i'd install polyurethane exhaust hanger mounts IMO, since your motor moves a bit, the sponge rubber mounts give better dampening of exhaust noise and vibration and puts less stress on your pipe flanges. Also puts more force on those flex pipes (due to the polyurethane's restriction of movement) which tend to break, god knows i have a flex pipe already going to crap.

My thoughts exactly. Poly exhaust mounts would probably turn the whole car into a sounding board.

Thanks for the input, I'll stick with stock if they're still in good shape.

But to the others, I have already replaced every other factory 'soft' bushing, so the little bit of additional vibes this might add wouldn't bother me.

And my stock flex pipe held up just fine to that for the first 15k, til I swapped for the ZZP, so I doubt I'd see much if any negative from swapping these to poly as well. But if they stretch, than theres no reason to swap.
