Question Too much exhaust flow for silencer?

Has anyone else here have their silencer fly right out of the exhaust? Earlier this year, when I was about to enter my car, I found the bolt holding my silencer was gone and my silencer sticking halfway out. I found a good sized bolt and stuck it back in just a few weeks ago for the hell of it. About an hour ago, I'm sitting in traffic and this ignorant lady is holding up traffic because she almost missed an exit and is waiting for someone to let her on the offramp. After about half a minute of waiting right behind her, she finally gets in and being p.o'ed, I floor the gas, and I remember saying to myself, "wow, my car feels a little faster for some reason...it also sounds a bit louder...?" While I drive through the streets I have this feeling that my silcencer is gone...which I soon find is is.
Anyway, does anyone know where I can by a silencer that will fit a Super Drager, and a bolt that won't snap (I'm assuming that is what happened). Or do I have to buy one from HKS?

Some guy's probably got one stuck in his grill right now. and I'm sure he'd sell it back to you.

i have an apexi exhaust and holy cow that silencer is in there. i have to use a rubber malet to get it in. i know that apexi sells the silencer seperate. so i would imagine that hks would also. maybe you can find someone who just bought there exhaust and doesnt want their silencer. i would try to buy a used one.
