Cattman Exhaust problem: too low?

I put my Cattman rear on today with my existing GReddy bpipe. Now the muffler is hanging really low for some reason. I know it's not supposed to be like that.
My guess is it's because of the GReddy Bpipe. So, maybe not all bpipes are the same?

How could I fix this? Do i have to buy a cattman bpipe now? This sux.

EDIT: pics
It's about 2.5"-2.75" from the top of the exhaust tips to the bottom of the bumper. Shouldn't it be more like .5"-1"??

I have the full cattman exhaust, and mine doesn't hand down that low at all! THe tips on mine are tucked in right where the stock ones were..

I don't see how the b pipe could make the muffler hang down though, expecially that much. maybe something to do with the hangers?

I was also thinking of the hangers, but I pushed up on the muffler and it's pretty damn stiff. I don't thinking the hangers will do it. Although i could be wrong. I'll ask SEMy2k2Go at the meet tomorrow. He has the Cattman w/ stock bpipe.

Get a couple of the exhaust hangers from AutoZone. They are a lot stiffer than the stock ones. Should pick up the muffler some.
