Tsudo Cat-Back Tips Sit Too Close to the Bumper - Type S

I've had my Tsudo quad catback for 3 months now, and I love everything about it except that the tips are less than 1mm away from the gray trim of the rear bumper. They're basically touching the bumper and I want them to hang properly. Originally I was worried about melting but 3 months later still no sign, yet at this point it just looks odd. I've attached a picture showing how close it sits - looks the exact same on both sides. Any recommendations? The shop who installed it already looked at it again and told me the only way to fix this is to take the system off and heat the hangars then bend them. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Look how close the tip is to the gray bumper trim! Looks very off - other Tsudo systems I've seen all seem to hang similar to OEM.

The shop does this for a living.. they know what they're talking about.

True, although the shop is a local mom & pop tire shop, not an exhaust shop. Just happened to do it there as they gave me the lowest rate since they do most of my other work as well.

If that is what they recommend that is the correct way to do it. Unless you have custom hangers made and cut the old ones off and weld them on. Just do what they say!

Mom and pop probably been doing exhaust for 30+ years. Listen to them.

That said, centering the tips in the holes should be a given. They should have done that during the installation.
