Default Please suggestions quick, id like to get an idea today... shift linkage butting heads with exhaust p

This is probally a pretty strange question but I was wondering... Is there any way to make my exhaust pipe hang about an inch, inch 1/2 lower? I got a short shifter a while ago, and it was REALLY hard to shift from 4->5, anyways i figured it was a combination of me always tightening down stuff to tight and it was hitting the exhaust pipe but didnt realize how bad... I got under there one day and got my friend to roll through the gears and when she put it in fifth, the linkage and all acctually pushed the exhaust pipe over-down and then over to the other side of itself, It cant be extremely bad, but where the shifter and the shift linkage meet is being scratched up (which doesnt matter really...) but also slowly being slightly bent. I was thinkin i could just undo one rubber hanger and leave the other one but then I realized that its my brothers integra that has two rubber hangers, i only have one so any thoughts?... This is a pretty wierd/stupid/strange question ... but Ive brainstormed and blank so I figured what the heck ill ask h-t. (hey that rhymes )
thanks in advance,
jana

I just took the short shifter out of my car to solve the problem. That was with the factory exhaust.
