take it to a muffler shop and have them adjust the hangers for you. If they are really short, new ones might have to be welded on.

All in all, it shouldn't cost more then $40 to fix.

You could always try bending them yourself too.

Is the Spoon a Flat flange or is it made for the little doughnut gasket?

its made for a donut gasket.. i put a new gasket and i put some preload on the springs by using washers and that seemd to remedy the problem with the air leak..
