Longer Exhaust Hangers for Injen SES

Okay I made a post about this in one of the threads for the Injen SES exhaust but I guess not many people look at that thread anymore.

So my issue is that the tips touch the bumper and the shop that installed it for me couldnt find a way to adjust them to sit properly. Maybe something is different with 2015 compared to the older MYs? I dont know.

Now I need some longer exhaust hangers.
Are these the right ones? http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Kart...st-Hanger-Long

And I only need two for the rear right, I dont need to replace the hangers throughout the exhaust?

EDIT: Maybe @RallySport Direct can help me out here?

Longer exhaust hangers are definitely needed!
I took my car to a track day and my exhaust got so hot it melted the plastic in my rear bumper. Now I have a hole about the size of my wrist; and my exhaust is about 1'' away from the bumper. I'll consider Cusco exhaust hangers that are a bit longer.

i wouldnt say so if i wasnt. you might be able to get away with just the rear 2 but definitely not 4. get under your car and you'll quickly realize why..

Hm now I'm confused, why would 2 work but not 4?
Does putting all 4 pull the rear too far down for the midpipe hanger to handle?

I want to avoid changing the midpipe one since I have no driveway or garage. So changing that one would mean I actually need to go bother someone who can lift my car.

If you get polyurethane bushings (the Kartboy XLs are what I'll be using tomorrow) you can replace 4 of the 5 hangers. Specifically, if you remove the hanger supporting the mid-pipe and replace the 4 on the muffler you should be fine.

Or, try replacing the 2 on the rear of the muffler. In theory, it should drop the muffler a little bit. I'll let you know how it works out for me tomorrow.

yes the stock hangers cant stretch that much. you can get away with removing the midpipe one and just running 4 on the muffler part but it isnt ideal

Hmm.. so to be clear, my choices are:

1. Replace all 5
2. Replace the rear 4 and remove the midpipe hanger
3. Replace only the 2 by the mufflers

Is that correct?
