Cleaned the plugs on the injectors? You'll find a green coating on the connectors and a possible loose female end on the harness side. Then give the injectors a good cleaning. Otherwise if they're leaking, replace the 0-rings.

The exhaust problem, sounds more like they've gone brittle and busted on you. Mine are stretched pretty taut and I've got all 3 or 4 of em on. Consider getting some polyurethane exhaust hangers or the solid rubber ones by nismo.

You can get electrical contact cleaner at your autoparts store. Spritz some of that stuff and scrape with a small flathead screw driver. It's a bit tedious but alot cheaper than buying a new injector. Other thing is to check the female plug on the harness. It helps to bend those in very slightly to get a clean contact to the freshly cleaned contacts of the injector.

The injector o-rings are easy to replace. Drain the fuel system of pressure and pop out the injectors. When you replace the o-rings, put a thin layer of vaseline on it to keep it from shredding or bunching when pushing it back into the fuel rail.

There are 2 hangers at the very end of the muffler, almost to the end of the car. There's another one a few feet back from that one. Then there should be another one towards the back end of the piping.
