take it back to the muffler shop and tell them to widen the points the hangers are installed on.
Your muffler hangers may be hung too straight up and down, like so:

This could allow too much leeway and slack for the muffler to move around. If you take them back to the muffler shop and tell them to widen the position at which the muffler is installed, as such:

You may be able to provide enough lateral tension to keep the muffler from swaying during idle. Just a suggestion.

You're gonna need to widen the points where they anchor to the underbody of the car as well.

Yeah dude, they'll probably just bend the hangers out from the muffler, and re-weld the anchor points on the body for you.

Cool. Well, maybe that little edge was all you needed to apply proper tension. Good to see your problem is fixed.
As for your muffler, I'm not sure what your es oval sounds like, but I've got myself a plain jane generic twin loop. Cut the gaudy tip off, and my car sounds great. Get compliments on it all the time.
