my exhaust mounts kept coming off a while ago, what I done to solve it was I brought new exhaust rubbers/mounts, and then I put a thick cable tie through the middle of the mount and looped it around the back of the hanger.
I tightened it enough to stop the mount coming off, but the exhaust still had enough to move and flex freely.

how about some uprated exhaust mounts. They flex a lot less so stop the exhaust moving so much. They should therefore stay in place.
