Default exhaust issue suggestions

so I have a 2000 z28 that has been lowered 2 inches..
back in feb me and a buddy installed my speed 3 inch y-pipe and headers.
from speed engineering also added an 18 inch glass pack magnaflow.

car sets real low an the roads where I live are trash.
I was having to use my car to go back n forth to work because my truck was down. the entrance and exit gate to my work place has a deep dip an is real low. well leaving one day I drug the passenger side clamp from the header to the y-pipe off.
it knocked the exhaust loose so I had adjusted the clamp yesterday.
and was driving it the clamp blew back off and the whole damn exhaust fell off. I think it was to much weight for just one hanger an I feel the exhaust should tuck more..






this is after the exhaust has fallen when its connected thre isn't even enough space for a cig pack to go between the pipe an ground

should I just redo everything from headers back with maybe 2 1/2 im not pushing a whole lot of power and wont be for a long time maybe a true dual set up??

id look into a setup with a rear exit to reduce future chances of damage.

running stuff under the axle typically doesnt work on these cars, and being lowered wont help
