Default Kooks mid-pipe issue

Has anyone installed the Kooks midpipe for the C7 Z yet? The rear hanger wire is the wrong diameter to fit in the hanger, and the separation between the two is too narrow to properly fit even if the wire was correct. Anyone else run in to this issue? Spent the better part of 3 hours trying to mod a fix.

Unfortunately...I already had all the parts hot coated, and the car is down to get the install done. I got it finished...took about 6 hours longer than it should have. Had to modify the hanger and the hanger bracket. I don't have many fabrication tools so.....what a PITA.

It's in though.
