Tailpipe hitting bumper

So I installed a megan TBE and one of the tailpipes is hitting the rear bumper. Actually its almost resting on it. Anybody got an easy fix for this?

yeah, the top of the tailpipe. Its been rubbing for a couple of days and the plastic seems to be holding up OK.

Loosen all the bolts from the downpipe back and wiggle the exhaust straight--this might take 2 people. Tighten them all back when its sitting straight and not resting on or touching anything. This should work

Also make sure that your rubber exhaust hangers haven't slid forward or backward on the rear hanger, they could be causing it to sit funny. If it hasn't yet and you don't get it fixed, it will definitely melt your rear diffuser.
