JDM light + HKS exhaust installed...

So I had my HKS exhaust installed but i think its too close to the bumper.. specially the right pipe. Is that going to be a problem? is it possible to push it down a bit?

If you paid someone to install that they need to fix it.

Definitely doesn't look right. I noticed some bends/kinks in your bumper...did you get in a fender bender?

The exhaust definitely is not right. I have a much bigger gap with mine. I would suggest you loosen the bolts and play around with the rubber hangers to adjust the fitment. Some adjustment is possible.

When you had your fender bender was the exhaust bumped? That might be your issue. A few weeks back there was a guy whose bumper melted around the exhaust. He had been in a fender bender and the exhaust bent too close to the bumper and melted it.
