Default Loudmouth 2 question

Okay, so I had my LM2 catback installed last Tuesday, I'm in love with the sound, but I have some questions on how it was installed. I'm including pics so you all can see what I'm talking about. First of all the system was installed by a professional shop, as I didn't have the tools, know-how or guts to attempt it on my own. The mufflers and the rest of the catback seem to hang about 6 inches off the pavement, which seems a bit low to me. Is this normal for SLP catbacks, or did the shop screw it up? The pics will really show what I'm talking about. Thank you!

maybe for some reason they didnt get one of the hangers back in the rubber. I would go back and ask them to check it out, they will.

The midpipe is stock, and nicely rusted. Are you talking about the exhaust tip hangers, or another hanger farther back. Both tip hangers are in the rubber

there should be hangers in the middle too, so it doesnt sit so low. You are gonna drag that on anything you come across.

Okay, I crawled under the back of the car as far as I could, and the hangers farther back are mounted in the rubber. Maybe the shop switched the pipes from right to left, or mounted them upside down? Is that a possibility? I am really concerned about the exhaust dragging on stuff, and would like to avoid that.

some of the hangers might need to be bent up some more so it tucks it up higher. Im not an exhaust man, but they will fix you up im sure.
