Same problem myself, except i have the magnaflow catback. Just went back to muffler shop and they heated the bars that hold the muffler and dropped the muffler. No problems since.

Peace

You could probably get adjustable hangers or something. My exhaust was hanging too low, so I bought some new rubber things to hold it up higher.

OR you could take your stock rubber hangers, stick a tiny piece of 1/2" plastic or pvc tube in the "H" cutout part, thus stretching it. Gives you an extra 1/2. Secure with Zip ties. Happy days.

go to ANY muffler shop and get longer rubber hangers.Takes about 2 minutes to install, i think i paid $5 for 2 longer ones for mine and it isn't melting mine at all
