Default Muffler exhaust hangers

Anyone know if there is a reasonably priced source for the rubber muffler hangers? Seems like they're discontinued, but there are a couple reproduction units available for $80, which is kind of silly for what you're getting in my opinion. I saw one option on ebay that just looked like a hard plastic 3D printed part for $15, but seems like that wouldn't isolate vibrations worth a darn. Is there a universal option that works well?

Hmm, all of the aftermarket sources claimed they were discontinued. Wonder if it's one of those things where they think they have inventory until someone actually checks, and it's not there.

Anyway, I was thinking of just cutting out the worn out rubber, buying a tube of high-temp RTV, and casting the part in the metal shell. Seems reasonably easy, and would cost a lot less.

CorvetteClips sells a hanger repair kit. Its a harder durometer material that doesnt sag like stock rubber ones. Its about $30 for both and works great. Doesnt cause any additional vibrations or anything like that. Well worth it instead of overpaying for stock hangers.

Those are the ones I saw on eBay that look to be hard plastic. I just can't imagine them NOT rattling.
