Default how to align the exhaust

so i found my exhaust seems crooked. The rear muffler hits the left side of the bumper, well actually its fully pressed against it. And the section where the converter meets the header collector, that is aimed too much to the right.

I cant move the exhaust more to the left because its already being fully pressed against the rear bumper, so i have a nice little leak by the cat. This also is annoying because the vibrations go throughout the car. Is it time for a flex pipe? or do i have to warp hangars, or change out the rubber hangars.

I need to know how you exhaust experts get things to line up perfectly.

yea but could this problem be from the hangars? or the actual piping being warped.

The piping should be ok unless you have a really low car and it was hit on a speed bump or something. Were there any exhaust modifications done that you know of? That could be the cause also, somebody not doing the job right. I'm not sure, I'm not an exhaust specialist, but thats what I would think. Just check all the hangers and pipes see if any of them are bent/broken and if they are then do what I said earlier.
