Looking at the picture again, and I don't know why I am, whoever put this on was not really with it. They used the SS spacers to hold the hanger directly to the car. Those spacers are for the tie bars in the front.

The stainless steel grade that we use on every part of that exhaust is 304 grade. It will NOT rust. There is rust on there, looks like someone used a mig welder on it with non stainless wire in it, we TIG weld the systems.

Who knows what happeded. A lot of used systems getting tossed around from car-to-car.

You should have used the rubber hangers like you were suppostue too, plus those spacers are for the tie bars up front, still very weird about how that snaps.

 

Well, it looks like he has road and salt grime on the underside of the car. More than likely it gets cold to very cold were he lives. This will cause metals to contract and become more brittle. A very cold morning and few bumps in the road would be able to make metal shear clean like that.

 

Yeah, and something else wrong, my car is ALWAYS bumping, and it's VERY cold and salty here...I say something else corroded it

 

I agree with David. That has been repaired in the past with non-stainless wire or rod. It looks like it was done when the exhaust was still mounted which could account for the flash mess on the surrounding parts. Might even have been done with an oxy-acetylene torch by the looks of the surrounding mess.
