Stock Exhaust Question

My cars at the acura dealership getting a new tranny, but i've been wondering for a few days, are my exhaust tips supposed to stay completely still when im driving and i hit a bump or a little rough in the road, or is a little jiggling around normal? my friend was behind me and noticed my exhaust jiggles around a little bit, and when it was getting put on the flatbed tow truck i noticed it also...

They are rubber mounted and some jiggle is normal.

For some reason though the CLs tend to wiggle more than most cars with rubber mounts. I did what someone on her suggested and put hose clamps around the mounts and tightened them up. Not only did it correct the sagging it also stopped the exhaust from wiggling around so much. A great little fix for the cost of four stainless hose clamps, which I lifted for free from work anyway.

ya, it jiggles because there is only 1 hanger behind the bumper and 1 by the Y-pipe. so there is really nothing to prevent the exhaust from moving left and right.

I have some black zip ties holding mine steady. Works well, & you can't see them.
