Muffler bearings worn out... replacement?

Mine seem to have worn out, causing a weird sound from the muffler when I rev my car. Where can I get replacements?

I think you can buy a new set for cheap at the same place they sell blinker fluid. Check the yellow pages

They also have bearings in stock, but I think you can find a better price if you keep looking.

-Extra Strength Muffler Bearing-

"Do you have an annoying rattling in your mufflers? Are they sagging a little? Don't quite sound right? That could be the symptoms of a worn muffler bearing. Allow me to introduce the KaleCo muffler bearing! It's unique iron-graphite composite with pre-grease-packed assembly provides over 200,000 miles of smooth muffler operation! It is most likely they will outlast your mufflers. Also works well on heavy duty exhaust systems. One per muffler."

I picked up a set of those almost a year ago. Hi-flo design seems the best. I now get 44mpg highway due to the additional flow through the muffler. Something to do with less turbulance.
