   Bend the metal slightly at the end of the rubber mount? Will stop it sliding off?

   My mate done the same thing and it lasted a good 3 months until he got a new exhaust system, the only worry you have with cable tie is that it might get too hot and melt but if you are going to do it then put like 3 or 4 on there just to be sure
