I would advice you to take your time and get best DP you can find. The clamp is only holding mine!! When I get a chance to crawl under the car, I will take some phots.
Why weren't we contacted about this issue? We would have been more than happy to assist you with your install and make sure you were properly taken care of.

The hanger has been proven to be unnecessary since the exhaust has quite a few hangers the support it's weight. There have been 10's of thousands of pipes sold for N54 and N55's that don't have this bracket and there hasn't been one disclosed failure due to lack of a bracket.
I purchased the DP through Extreme-Powerhouse and waited about two months for the part to arrive. They kept saying the delay was caused because of VRSF.

That was very frustrating to begin with, but I did contact them about the fitment issue. At first they said I ordered the wrong part.. I was sure I didn't so I gave them my VIN and mike passed that info to you guys, still nobody knew for sure if I had ordered the right part or not! finally Mike asked for a picture of my original factory cat and said yes I ordered the correct part. Well, Its embarrassing because I knew that all along.

What makes me pissed about the hanger is that I need to cut and weld again when its time to reverse back to the factory cat.. all that delay and the fitment issues, yes a pretty bad experience with VRSF.
