Default my exhaust keeps rubbing!!

i have the injen axle back exhaust and it seems as if it is sitting flush against the bottom side of my rear bumper... thankfully it hasnt gotten hot enough to melt it but i recently bought a lip kit that will be sitting right above it and i know it will be sitting between the exhaust and the bumper... does anyone know of any solutions to this? i would like there to be at least some elbow room there... what should i do?

thanx for the help in advance!

I had the same problem with my HKS and all I did was use some coat hanger wire and move it around and use the hanger wire as hanger. And make sure you use pliers to bend and twist the ends. Worked for me.

You got pics of the tip and the hangers?
I have the injen and it's not even close to rubbing.
And I dont' think a lip kit would lower the exhaust exit on the bumper. A full rear bumper might.

not you...scionarra who is having the issue.
Here is a pic of mine. Dont' know if you can tell in this pic, bue there is half an inch to an inch between the tip and the bumper. No modding neccessary.
