The OEM donut type seem to last for decades (though they eventually stretch out and get hard).
I really like how the reinforced hangers keep the exhaust secure, but they just don't last (less than a year). I guess I should go back to the donut type. Is this consistent with others' experiences?

Are these the reinforced ones that MB used on the 560SL?
