08' Mustang V6 Exhaust Hanger Question
 
Hey guys, I recently bought the Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Street-Pro Axle-Back for my 2008 Mustang, along with the required hanger kit, and have run into a bit of a problem. After connecting the exhaust to the hangers and attaching the axle-back to the pipe, it causes the tailpipe to end up far to the left on the bumper, and not centered in the cutout like it's supposed to be. I read somewhere that to fix this, you should loosen the H-pipe and twist it, but I couldn't find a way to make that help with the problem.

The only way I could figure out how to correct this was to, instead of putting the metal bar through the rubber hole in the middle of the hanger, just let it rest on the bottom. I did this for the hanger closest to the bumper. That fixed the alignment problem, but I've been getting this annoying rattling sound at low RPM's, and I'm assuming the cause is that the exhaust is very loose.

ANYWAYS, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me figure out a way to properly align the exhaust with the hangers being used correctly.

Oh, and I don't know a lot about cars yet, so sorry ahead of time if i didn't describe the problem very well =/

A picture of the hanger I'm talking about can be found here. I have the little metal bar (that should go through that hole) resting on the outside. If you guys need any more details, ask away :p
