It might sounds too funny for you since I don't know what the deal was, but can you just lower both side a little bit low?

i have the same problem with my comptech's. every time i hit a bump in the road, the comptechs move and cause my kit to melt upon touching it. Not tooo noticeable unless u look from underneath the car.

You might be able to get it a little lower witha a bigger rubber hanger (the rubber piece that hold the muffler hanger to the chassis).

Can you make/change/swap/mod the tips a little smaller ? I know it won't look good but I think it might help.

Cheers !!!

any reputable exhaust shop will be able to extend the piping and replace the hanger points without messing anything up. Its either that or a $500 repair job for your bumper.
