My car's lowered 60mm and the exhaust keeps on attacking the rear axle. I expect it's the clamps that are hitting it, because when I had my standard backbox on it didn't hit it at all.
I got a jack on the pipe and raised it so it was almost touching the petrol tank and then tightened the clamps, but when I take the jack away it still drops a lot. Does anyone have any ideas how I can stop it hitting the axle?
I've tried to get some pics when it's not jacked up so you can see how close it is, but it's quite hard to get underneath

The place I used to work at sells something like that, they use them on hoses because it's a boat yard and the exhausts screw together Would they still work? Don't want to go buying them and it not make a difference.
