Ok, so I got the following TB Exhaust setup:
Helix UP
HKS DP
Borla Muffler
Flowmaster HI-flow cat
Custom 3" piping through the rest.

Now, the exhaust does ride a little low (Eibach pro-kit installed too), and I have bottomed out once or twice, but since I've had the exhaust now for a few months, the rearmost hangers have broken twice!

Am I not driving carefully enough in relation to my ground clearance, or is my mechanic not installing correctly?

What can I do to alleviate this situation? I've alreayd purchased KArtboy polyurethane hangers, but the exhaust still wags up, down left & right. Help!

 

that's really weird....did u try moving the exhaust by hand and see how much that moves?

 

take some pics and show us what your setup looks like.

I would question the welds and position of the "custom 3 inch piping" by your muffler shop. If the welds are crappy and are mated to an unclean surface, also if they're not in the correct position on the car(which will induce extra stress). That would be the cause of all the hangers breaking, and actually getting the stiffer polyurathane hangers will cause it to break even easier, since it has no give and all the vibration and flex goes into the hanger itself...

Thanks for the help guys - So should I go somewhere else to get as second opinion on the welds/locations, etc?

I have tried moving it by hand, and it moves maybe an inch or two in any direction.

Ahhhh, What should I do??
