Invidia N1 CBE touching rear diff....HELP

I just installed the N1 catback exhaust and it is touching the rear diff. I'm trying to think of ways to free up 1/2" of clearance. Should I heat up and bend the frameside exhaust hangers a little bit or try to get longer rubber hangers? Any help is appreciated as I'll be jacking up the Evo in the AM to attempt a fix. Thanks

Try twisting the midpipe/testpipe, unbolt the exhaust system to get some relieve. Also rotate/flipping the muffler hangars also helps.

Try rotating the the rear muffler pipe in the slip joint, that should give you the clearance you need.

Just got done. Had to loosen the clamp from the midpipe and twist the muffler section to get a little clearance. Then I had to switch the two-hole rubber hanger near the diff to the three-hole hanger by the driver's side rear bumper. This gave me the clearance I needed. Thanks again!! This exhaust sounds great BTW, especially paired with my testpipe

Yo! please show pics on what you have done since mine also touches the diffuser and causing it to melt.

Tried twisting and still wont get enough clearance.
