I never got around to using stainless steel with my springs. I guess they just haven't rusted enough to fall apart yet.

Tonight I found these that should be available from PepBoys.

http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9513006/00128 Dorman - HELP! - Carded HELP! - Carded Exhaust Flange Spring - .5 In. ID x .75 In. OD x 1.13 In. Length Part # 03080 SKU: 9513006

They claim to be Rust and corrosion resistant and they are about the right size.

This modification converts the manifold elbow/j-pipe joint into a ball joint that really makes installation easier. Harmonic vibration is reduced because the exhaust system more flexible.
