Default I need some better exhaust hangers, need help!

Okay so my exhaust system has been wiggling around a lot lately due to the fact that the rubber O-Ring hangers i have to hold the exhaust up keep falling off or breaking. Are there any metal hangers around? Ive been to a Meineke shop 3 times and each time they couldn’t figure out a way to properly hang the exhaust, they keep putting on rubber hangers that keep on breaking, they just can’t support the exhaust. Im thinking some maybe metal ones or something would do the trick, any one else have this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Is this an OEM exhaust ? If so, you can get the OEM hanger donuts from Rob at Needswings, there should be no issue with them coming off.
If it is aftermarket cat-back, then there has been some mention on the forum that the hangers don't have enough curve in them, I think this is in regards to the MagnaFlow.
I replaced my OEM with an OBX Racing cat-back and have no problems with the hangers.
The OBX is basically build just like the Borla cat-back.

I have the OEM hangers but can't get them on. So .... big admission here, I used some rope. I have to change it occasionally because it burns through after a year or so.

LOL Les. Since you went first; here's my admission. I've been using wide(3/8") H.V.A.C. zip ties(in black for disguise) cinched down real snug, and it works real well. They seem to be able to handle the heat great. I use a set of extra long needle nose pliers and pull the ties up to where it looks and feels right, then reach in with side cutters or utility knife to cut the tails off.
