Exhaust hanging low

Whats up people, hoping someone out there with an aftermarket exhaust can help me out.

I have a megan racing cat back and I love the exhaust but, the damn thing hangs low and I have scraped it a couple times getting out of driveways. Everything was installed correctly as far as I know and yet the piping sags down in the middle. My step dad jacked it up and it held for like a week with no issue, now its back down to where it was before hand.

Anyone got some suggestions? Only had it on for a couple months and I am already sick of dealing with it.

its the norm with lowered cobalts and exhausts. Both of mine did the same in the same spot. It scraps where it bolts together right before the axel. Nothing you can do unless you want to install a extra hanger in that position.

You could rubberize (or undercoat) the bottom and at least it wouldn't sound like metal scrape...

Every time I hit a bump in the road, my pipe would clang against the asphalt, and I wasn't even lowered. You get used to it after a while.

Haha well damn. Yeah rubberizing it sounds like a good idea, but will it stink like ass after I have ran the car for awhile? I guess I should just get used to it. Something tells me come winter time I am going to be plowing snow with that ****** thing.

The only place my Magnaflow catback rubs sometimes is on the resonator. Only on the worst parking lot entrances though.
