Volvo sells stainless steel exhaust but the hangers are made of regular mild steel and commonly rust through. This hanger clamp is designed to replace the welded on hangers when they have rusted to the point of being non-functional. Any remaining hanger bits will need to be cut off from the exhaust pipe.
Aftermarket parts are a reasonably priced and good alternative to OE products. We often supply aftermarket products in place of OE parts that are no longer available as well.
Some items will be better than stock or considered an upgrade from the OE design in the aftermarket brand.
Other items will work as a less expensive alternative to stock.
We will not sell a product that we do not believe in, so rest assured you are fine with the aftermarket brand in most applications!
If you have any questions, contact our customer service team to advise on the best aftermarket products for your Volvo.
