Default Muffler too close to Rear Bumper problem

Hey guys. I recently installed a new exhaust to my TC but I have the Kaminari rear bumper and the muffler is touching it. One guy told me that I should get longer exhaust hangers to lower it some. I was wondering if any of you guys had the same problem, and what you did to fix it.

you can adjust it too. but the longer rubber might just give you the clearance you need.

Or you can use zip ties to get the perfect clearance you're looking for. that's what i'm using.

not sure if it has the same rubber 'hanger' for it as what came w my exhaust...but mine had 2 open areas in the hanger and (laugh) i used a plastic cap off of a 20oz mt dew bottle because i was melting mine when i first got it...5 years later and the cap is still there lol
