It think this can occasionally be an issue only on the Roadsters because the Coupes don't have that same brace there.
New OEM hangers can be bought from Needswngs.com

I adjusted them last night. They are centered, I have installed new hangers from AutohausAZ, from the cats back.
If I push on the right exhaust pipe under the bumper it has enough swing to make it bang into the brace and control arm. I have about a pinky's distance between the pipe and the two points of contact.
That's why I was thinking of either putting an old hanger on the brace against the pipe where it's hitting. My only concern is will that get hot enough to cause the rubber to melt.
Another option would be to take pipe strapping and wrap it around the left hanger and bolt it into the hole in the bracket. Or maybe if I strapped the two hangers together to tighten them up and keep them centered?
