Default Muffler Adjustment HELP

Need help with my new exhaust...

I want the muffler to be about an inch or inch.5 higher...I want the tips to be closer to the bottom of the bumper...How do I do this? I noticed when searching that some people had to mess with the hangers...But idk how this would raise the whole muffler??? Any ideas? Thanks...Heres a pic of what it looks like...

take it to a body shop and c if then can adjust the hangars so that they are shorter...or depending on what type of material the hangars are try adjusting it yourself, save some $$$.

correct me if im wrong but doesnt your exhaust look like its not level???? maybe its just me

The rear bumper is all bent up. Why did you do that?

tried untucking my bumper...but it stays in place even when the two clips are back in, it still "tucks" in the middle...im thinking im gonna have to heat it up with a heat gun and remold it back to where it was...anyone have experience with that?
