Help: Exhaust system is rubbing

I just had a HKS hiper exhaust installed on my car. I love the exhaust but it rubs against the body of the car. I asked the mechanic if it was repairable, and he told me no. He mentioned something about a rubber fitting, and how it might break if he moved it too much. Does anybody else have this problem with their catback exhaust system? Is it curable?

Try the Kart Boy polyurethane hangers. They seem very durable and should provide enough rigidity to allow for some creative adjustment to prevent rubbing.
