I didn't get the chance :) My car went in for some works I just have not had time to do and my mechanics took one look at my zip tie bodge and offered me a couple of proper hangers. How could I refuse? Yes, the exhaust was low-slung again and offset at the end. At the weekend, I loosened the clamps and dropped the middle section onto a jack. That seems to have nipped up the pipes better, so I just get a slight nick over speed bumps, as opposed to a full on scrape. It's just about right, given that the car was lowered a further 25mm or so recently. I take it back ... The SAAB ones are fine, so long as the exhaust is fitted properly.
