They're not hanging lower than the muffler would, but just imagine that the hanger breaks when you hit a hard pot hole and the turbo smacks the edge of the pothole... I'm not saying that it's likely that this would happen, but it's still a thought.

I've seen some cool rear mount installs, though, that built the turbo into the muffler (to hide them for the most part) and fit just fine.
