[T3] Muffler falling off


Now I know why the hangers on dual quiet Bugpack mufflers
are for ; that is to prevent losing the mufller and leaving debris
for other driver to hit. Yeah , this morning my mother was
complaining that the car was making more noise than usual
and there was a metalic sound. Unfortunately I had my mom
filter on and did not take any action until I dropped my mom 
at work she told me that the passenger muffler was dragging.


Doooohhhh!!!! well it was hanging by the hanger and the pipe 
was broken off, clean off. I had to unbolt the hanger bracket and
put the muffler in the trunk. This afternoon I will get it welded and
weld a top bracket between the two mufflers to prevent one side from 
breaking off, this way both have to break off before dragging
on the highway.  I have air pumped shocks to make my car
ride higher for the roads I go to. I jacked the car up after
I reinforced welded the muffler system The pipes are so thin and
brittle that vibration will easily crack after really using the car
like I do. Bugpack and other brands really suck in this aspect.
My muffler system is fairly new and is only about four months
old since install. I guess these mufflers are only meant for cars
that are driven a little and are always inside from the weather.

Does anyone know of a quiet bullet proof muffler system
that can be attached to a header? If not
I will make my own quiet dual pack center pipes.
