hooker Y Pipe clearance issues....

I was curious what you guys did to raise the hooker Y pipe away from the ground some? I want mine to be closer to my body of my car. I have about 3 inches of clearance from the ground to the bottom of the Y pipe. It scrapes and hits the ground over any small bumps and it is really irritating me....

Isnt that really unstable to cut out the cross member? I dont really want to hack up my car... I think there is about another 4 inches I could go up without touching the actual underbody of the car.

i have about 1 inch clearence to the car, if yu cant just move it up by adjusting the hangers you would have to get a shop to heat it up and bend it into place. might wana check how low your car is sitting too.
