Y-pipe dragging

Y-pipe dragging
Havent seen any answers for my question so here it goes.
My Z is a DE and has Megan racing resonated TP and Y-pipe (HR style) with a JIC exhaust. The problem is that my Y-pipe hangs due to the flex joints and scraps on everything.
Does anyone have a solution besides trading y-pipes?
Thanks

Maybe this Y pipe weighs more and with the CATS not being supported by the bracket, causes sagging.

- Our newest revision, pictured, features an extended collector further down the exhaust path to help with exhaust scavenging properties to maximize flow. This more recent revision is designed off of the "HR" engine, while the previous version was designed off of the "DE" engine-- the newer revised version will still fit all model years 2003-2007 Nissan 350Z and G35. The photo of the Y-pipe on the vehicle is the previous version

Yeah..pipes are much farther out..looks like weight is shifted to outside and could sag more there...less ground clearance there vs center under drive shaft?
Here is a Megan on a G37, but set up is similar..pipes are way out and you need to remove plastic covers there too.

I just saw that picture. Yea I had to remove the plastic covers but that didn't bother me. The reason it hangs is because there isn't any hangers or supports from the TP to the mid pipe. Im going to call Megan racing and explain too them that they need some kind of support brackets.
There is a spot that's close to the middle of the y-pipe that would work if the y-pipe had brackets. Maybe they will redesign it again lol

Went to try it today and a shop quoted me $80. They said it wouldnt hold if I hit a speed bump.
Also I'm getting a hissing sound when I'm in neutral or decelerating. I think that is due to the y-pipe hanging and not sealing with the gaskets.

Take it to a muffler shop and see if you can get some hangers set up...Might just wanna see if Megan can get you old style.
