Default Flowmaster Catback

Ive had a flowmaster cat back system on my car for about a year and a half. About a month ago i put pacesetter lts and ory on. Well i just got my car back from the painters and i was driving and everytime i hit a bump in the road i heard a loud rattle noise. So i looked under my car and noticed that my passenger side tip was lower than the other. Well come to find out, the bracket that holds the in pipe into the muffler to the frame of the car had fallen off. No only did it fall of but a piece of the pipe came with it. I was just wondering if anybody else has had a similier or the same problem with a flowmaster system.

i just took the whole bracket off and took the stock bracket off the frame and went to an autoparts store and bought a u clamp and a new universal bracket. It got my pipes off my axle and out of the way. for the whole i think im guna weld another peice of metal over it, the whole is as a big as a quater so it shouldnt be that hard
