Yes @ any muffler shop, but why on earth would you want to do that unless for some reason its melting the bumper.....

Honestly... From that pic I can't tell which way it's slanted 
On some designs ... like under axle, it needs to be angled up to give the smoothest flow. But for over axles it's usually for looks, or at least I think ?
My BCIII has a pretty big slant and actually helps prevent the bumper from getting all black and nasty and the fact that it sticks out 8 inches past the bumper
I personally like the angled / slanted look.

I would suggest shopping around for pics of the exhaust before you buy, I did and even e-mail owners for pics
Here is how mine sits... I'll try to get day time pics of the exhaust if your interested

if its a complete axle back , and comes slanted like Apex'i N1 ,.. , you either have to live with it or have a custom made piping and brackets made t omake it straight.
I as well dig the slanted look of my N1 apex'i. I assume it gives a better flow as well.
cheers

I have a 5 zigen pro racer a spec exhaust and notice that its at a slight slant, which exhausts give that slant look. </TD></TR></TABLE>
From that pic it looks like the muffler brackets are on the lower hooks. There are upper ones that will tuck the can up higher if it can physically fit But, it may not, and or if it's too tight may melt the bumper and or you may be forced to use the stock lower hooks.
I used the upper hooks and the cannister is a tighter fit but it tends to rattle at idle, I'm thinking because the pipe that loops over the rear axle rubs against something, but only sometimes.
