Do I Really Need Urethane Hangers?

[blackmica_es]

I'll be scheduling the install of my Mazdaspeed axelback exhaust in a few weeks, and was wondering if I really need to get the urethane hangers from Corksport. At nearly $50 a set, they seem overpriced for what they are, considering that I only paid $100 for my BNIB exhaust. So, are these a must buy, or will I be fine with the stock rubber hangers (which have been there since 2000)?

You might not need them but I've found that when you install aftermarket exhaust on stock hangers they tend to droop after a while. On my old car they stretched pretty far to the point that the exhaust was handing about 2 inches lower than the stock one. I made sure to take care of that possible issue on the Protege.
