Ideas about helping fix a exhaust hanger issue

Hey, if anyone has any ideas on help to help me bandiad my problem with my 2003 wrx. I have installed a helix downpipe on my car and it's connected to my helix cat back system. After instalation of the dp the exhaust strated to pull out of the right exhaust hanger. took it to my mechanic and he said the dp was not true staright as like the stock dp and he said to cut the dp and reweld it so its staright and doesn't keep pulling the exhaust out of the hanger. I don't want to do that and am looking for some ideas for alternatives.

Thanks!

But seriously, maybe try to bend the hook on the catback so that it kinda "hooks" on to the hanger a little better. It will be a little tough to bend it, but it would be a little easier that cutting and welding the DP.

Upgrade hangers. The stock ones suck. I had the same problem and just upgraded all 4 of them. No rattling, no shaking, just smooth boxer melodies.
