low hanging exhaust

after installing my tsudo a few weeks ago, i noticed that right where the two pieces bolt together, it hangs really low

i have re checked all the hangers except the one right by the axle (thats probably the one messed up too)

i think im going to get some tighter/smaller rubber hangers from autozone tomorrow

anybody have any experiance or ideas?

bump

any solutions yet? I have the pacesetter exhaust and its hanging REALLY low on the part right before it goes over the axle

and i dont know why, it always comes loose from the downpipe, even if i crawl over the speedbumps and not scrape.

Any help?

(PS. im also lowered too)

my megan cat back hangs low as **** in the same spot. it scrapes from time to time. bein lowered does not help at all.. i think the best way to get it fixed is to take it to an exhaust shop and get them to take the s shaped piece out and do a lil bendin to it to get that part up higher.

How low is low? I noticed on the older Cavaliers and many other GM cars, the exhaust would seem to hang low right where it has a 90* bend...was quite common. My exhaust is stock and it still has that crap...following in the Cavalier's footsteps, dammit.
