Angry Pissed off at exhaust

The speds at Meinekee need to find new jobs b/c they don't know jack sh*t about piping an exhaust.
From the beginning it sat in the opening crooked but it was minor enough that i could overlook it. Then for some reason when i put on the RRM test pipe i noticed the next day all the piping sagged alot and the muffler was even more off-center.
So i got underneath and fooled with it and ended up putting a piece of wire around it to hold the actual piping up where it should hang. However this created a high squeeking noise whenever the exhaust vibrated.
So i figure i'll cut it off the next chance i get and figure something else out. Then i get to work this morning. Take a look to see how f**king crooked its hanging and its so far over to the right that it melted the bumper.

@$&*%$@!

anyone else have a problem with the exaust hanging crooked or sagging?

[EDIT]: oh yea and i put the bolts (new ones i went and bought b/c RRM ones were too small) on with an impact gun so they arent loose if thats why your thinking the middle section sags

You know what.. The same thing almost happened to my friend. He took his car to get the exhaust done at a Midas here in Trenton, NJ and it was kinda crocked too. HIs rear bumper started to melt a bit and we noticed it on time. Took it back and it was fixed pretty quickly. But that was something simple. I honestly think that he should have gotten the exhaust done where I got mines at "Mufflex". They did a great job. We both got the Test Pipe at the same time. When we went to install it and took the CAT off. His whole exhaust pretty much came off except for the welds that held the actual muffler... (only the muffler weld and the CAT being screwed held the whole exhaust together). Mines has multiple welds to give support..(when we took the CAT off the exhaust stayed in place).. And everyone that looks at my exhaust or changes my oil always ask me where I got my exhaust done because of the good job that was done!!!!!(they always ask if it was done at Mufflex) and I usually do my servicing by my job in Flemington, NJ thats like an hour away.....

midas/meinike suck ***.. basically, it's the place where easily duped women go, cuz they saw it on TV. (and they take advantage of that by raping you on the price) Amazingly enough, a hole-in-the-wall exhaust shop probably has more experience with custom exhaust than any big chain..
