Default Nice... AAM Axleback exhaust hanger broke.

So... Yeah, this is irritating to say the least. I was hearing a tapping rattle sound, I thought maybe a loose bolt or something on the exhaust, I was taking it in anyways. So I took my car in to replace all the exhaust gaskets from the headers back. I had the crap waffle gaskets that couldn't seal a fart in. After the work was done, I went to grab my car and started her up to see if the leak went away. Good news, the Z1 gaskets are the business and work great. Bad news is the exhaust hanger disconnected itsself from the exhaust pipe... It doesn't look like AAM did much more than a TAC weld to hold it in place. So I walked right back in the shop and they fixed it for me on the spot. Z Fever may be a dirty *** shop, but the owner hasnt charged me a dime for replacing the gaskets, installing the axleback, and repairing my overpriced exhaust. So kudos to them for great customer service on that front. Maybe this is a one time thing with AAM because they generally make quality gear, but now I have a burned bumper too. After fixing everything, the car sounds great, especially now that it's broken in. Anyways pics are linked below.
