Rear bumber getting melted by HKS exhaust.
Here's sthe story guys, i was backing up in a parking lot the other day, and i backed up too much and didnt see there's a curve behind me. So my car went over the curve, and my car is lowered so yeah. when i got back to my work i checked if there is any damage and it seemed like theres only scrapes in the bottom of the exhaust. I really didnt pay attention because i have to go back to work.
I went home and my friend came over and asked me to come out of the house and see my rear bumper. He showed me that the exhaust is now touching the bumper so i was like shiet. So we tried to push it down a lil bit and it worked. 2 days from that day which is today, i checked my exhaust again and damn its touchin the bumper again, i tried pushing it down again but it wont work, and its alreasy melting the bumper and there's melted plastic residue already in my exhaust.
BTW the exhaust is a hks hi-power and it has custom 2.5 piping. I want to ask you guys what i can do to stop this melting, should i bring it to the muffler shop or should i try pushin it down more? and how much will a muffler shop charge to adjust the exhaust?
Thanks in advance.

It depends on how handy you are with tools... you can get under the car and check if your ehaust mounting brackets are bent, and if so, just take the exhaust off the car and bend them back. If you're not so handy, take it to a shop. It will just keep coming back up if you continue to push it down by hand.
