Have a muffler shop lower your muffler.... (or bend the hangers)
You need at least 0.75" clearance all around.

Rep Power: 0 you can also get/make this metal piece and put it between your bumper and exhaust. i'm not sure what its called, but ive seen some subaru people do it. looks pretty cool

Rep Power: 0 as long as that peice isn't too noticeable...i don't like metal/bling on my car. kinda a pet peeve of mine. i think i'm gonna try for the hanger solution.

Rep Power: 0 I just had my car in today to have the exhaust adjusted so it was not sitting on my sway bar- they bent it more at where the bend is behind the wheel and I noticed too that my bumper was starting to melt. My exhaust sticks out more but it is not queer looking or anything

Rep Power: 374 I had the same problem. Hes a easy and free way to fix it. Take the bumper off, get a saws all(sp?), and cut the lower part of your bumper out. Becareful not to cut the sections that clip on to the frame. That fixed it for me.
