Default Help on keeping exhaust from scraping?

I got my car lowered on Skunk2 coil-overs and want my car as low as it will go. I am having a problem with my Apexi WS scraping all over the place. Is there a good way to get it up higher into the car so it dosent fall off one of these next times I go over a speed bump?

Ghettofabolous works for me

These are the options that I can think of.

1. Cut and rebend the exhaust hangers

2. Get a different exhuast.

3. Raise the car.

Might want to check the rubber hangers as well. Just to make sure that isn't the problem as well.

Why do you want to be so low? How low are you dropped? Personally being too low is ghetto and you will blow your shocks real quick.

Raise your car. There is such a thing as too low.

You could always get bags and be extra ghey. Then you could raise it up to go over bumps.

Shoot, I would love bags but they are a little too costly I think. What do they run?

Raising the car isn't out of the question but that would be a last resort option. The main thing that scrapes is the tube after the cat-converter and before the muffler itself. It hangs about an inch lower than the main tubing because it is like I said some sort of tube, I assume that is is for sound.

drive more carefully and take speed bumps, driveways, etc very slowly and at an angle.
