Hi all, I just knocked out an exhaust install in the driveway with a body of mine. First time for him or I tackling a project like this. For the most part it went well.

However as you can see in the photo below the passenger tips are sitting pretty high. We worked for a while to get them to lower by adjusting the exhaust slip on in and out. This is the best we could come up with.

I have 2 questions. 1. With it this high should I be concerned with exhaust heat that close to the rear valance? 2. Any suggestions to potentially get the tips to hang a little lower?

The only thing I can think of is maybe pulling that side off completely and bend the hanger above the tips of the exhaust ever so slightly. That makes me a bit nervous though. Thanks in advance.
