Just a PSA/rant here. There are many aftermarket 240 parts that one can obtain reasonably comparable service from. In my experience, rear muffler hangers are not one of them. I've gone through 2 downpipes in the last 3 years because I had crappy BOSAL rubber hangers that failed repeatedly, causing the exhaust to drop multiple times causing fractures at the downpipe. I smartened up and ordered OEM Volvo hangers this time with my new downipe (which I got off ebay - it's aftermarket, so we'll see what happens there - but it looks to be constructed very well). The OEM Volvo hangers are clearly made of a superior/stronger rubber. Right off the bat I can tell the difference as there is no sag and the exhaust is held up higher, causing less tension/stress on the rest of the system. I highly recommend them and suggest that no one waste there time/money on aftermarket hangers, when for a few dollars more you can have a clearly superior product.
