Why are these so much more expensive than from the FieroStore? ($120 per set vs $40 per set)?

One Cost Difference is Steel vs Stainless Steel

TFS uses Zinc Plated Steel hardware which will rust over time
Rodney use Stainless Steel hardware which will never rust

Edit
Understanding the difference between steel and stainless steel will help you make an informed decision about which material is best suited for your needs and budget constraints.

The cost of stainless steel is generally more expensive 4X to 5X than common steel.
This higher cost is due to the addition of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese to stainless steel.

If you’re looking for prefabricated pieces of stainless steel, then expect those prices to be even higher than regular steel which tends to be more budget friendly.

Keep in mind that regular steel is much more affordable but doesn’t offer the same level of protection against corrosion and rusting over time as stainless does.

Good Morning Cliff. Most aftermarket exhaust companies carry a line of universal hangers. Also companies like SUMMIT stock hangers at a very competitive price.

That’s the route that I took. Went to Autozone and bought some generic exhaust hangers that were similar in size & length and made them work. Only about $8/9 dollars but you really do need to have a bench vise, bench grinder and a drill to shape / bend it into the shape you need. It was a little work but I’m too cheap to cough up enough money for even the FieroStore hangers. Besides, it’s going under the car. Who is gonna see it? 😀
