You could get another one, and put a heatshield on it, or drop your muffler a little bit. If you want it perfect, without the danger of it happening again, I'd have to say you should go with all of the above. Relocate muffler, get new rear lip, and apply a nice little heatshield to protect it.

It's not that hard, you can just make one out of a simple bent piece of aluminum, and I'd still recommend relocating your exhaust if it's too close. Maybe some pics to help illustrate the problem?

The exhaust seems like it needs to be brought a little bit down, and the tip needs to extend out from the bumper, so that the hot gases do not directly affect the rear bumper/lip. Then just make yourself a nice little heatshield, and you'll be set.

I think you may have to take your car to your local exhaust welding shop, and tell them your problem. They'll know exactly what to do to bring that muffler to a non-harmful spot.
