OSUBeaver,
I went with the black urethane bushings. They are more forgiving that the red urethane. I haven't had any issues with them and no annoying harshness.

Regards,

Maurice

Thanks for the tips. I found these at Holden Parts USA:

Appear to be similar to OEM: https://holdenpartsusa.com/collections/ ... s-standard
And these ones appear to be harder: https://holdenpartsusa.com/collections/ ... motorsport

Just a final note, I used the red Urathane bushings when I installed the 3:45s out of a 15 SS Camaro. It was one of the first upgrades and didn't notice any more road noise over the oem bushings, but then again I did exhaust as well. Best $600 upgrade to the 3:45s on my 13 ppv.:)
