Rear hanger interchangability?

I have an 02-03 exhaust coming for my 06 and was reading up on the rear hanger issue. Is it possible to purchase the 02-03 inner hanger and bolt it up to my car? I searched and couldn't find a straight answer.

OR is the only alternative heating and bending the inside hanger? Thanks!

Hang with outter hangers only.
inner hangers can be zip tied.

Zip ties dont melt? I assume hanging an exhaust implys that they will touch something that would get hot enough to exceed the tie's melting point.

you need to modify the inner hanger on the exhaust to use all 4 hangars, it can be done with 2 but you should get the inside hangers modified so it hangs tight. Its not really a big deal and shouldnt cost much to have a muffler shop do it for you.

So there is no way to just bolt on the inner hanger from an earlier car?
