The 5Zigen Rocket on my S13 tended to want to rub (and melt) the bumper, until I 'adjusted' the hangers with a 3lb rubber mallet. :D

my apexi GTspec hung a little too low when i bought it so i used the trusty mallet to recurve the mounting tabs as well

adjusting the metal hangers is all you really need to do to change the angle of exit. if u want it to exit lower...you can go buy a longer rubber hanger. The ones we have stock on the 240SX are rather short, since the stock exhaust doesn't require a lower stance. On the other hand, check out your local parts store,etc. they have rubber hangers for trucks and jeeps (which are longer). you can try those along with metal hanger adjustment on the muffler...
