Whoooooops,The torque spec for that hanger is only 10 ft/lbs!! No wonder it snapped. I don't know why they wouldn't make it more robust. That seems very cheap of them.
That's why I try to look for all the torques in the shop manual before I start any job. If there is no torque spec, I try to judge on how hard it was to loosen it, what position it was in before I touched it, and try to match it as closely as possible.
The AWE service rep I spoke with was super helpful and ended up sending 3 exhaust clamps for free my way and is researching with engineering about the X-pipe. Will update my post as I made it in a place of not so sound mental state (frustrated an exhaust install took like 6 hours)
