tercel drifter

Well here is my dilemma, I installed a 3' brm exhaust and the clearance is really horrible I've had it on for two days now and been avoiding knows spots where it scrapes.

Now i dont know if there is any solution to fix this problem, could i possibly put in a flex pipe before the down pipe and weld some sort of brace to hold it up, is this possible? Please help me if you've had this problem or know a way to raise my exhaust as there is still at least around 1.5 to 2' room to raise it.

BTW I have 16' wheels and megan coilovers and would like to drop it some more as there is still a 1' gap from the fender to the wheel.
