Muffler heat messing my paint HELP!!

I bolted on my friends magnaflow muffler on to my car and after 1week, i noticed that small area directly above the exhaust is starting to melt (paint). The exhaust tip is slightly short so the tip won't stick out of the rear bumper. Instead, the tip is undernearth the bumper and my paint is starting to become all fuzzy.. can anyone give me solutions to this problem? help!.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Isn't the Magnaflow tip adjustable? Look below....there might be a bolt holding the tip.

If that doesn't work you may want to consider some high temp paint.
