Any higher and the cans will touch the upper part of the car. This is not a "Borla/touring" type of a muffler these things are retarded big. If you look from a distance it looks way better, if you're right on top of it they look low.

they look good but i think it would look 10x better if they sat more flush with the bumper, like it looks like they stick out to much

Great job with the exhaust install. How is the drone inside the car? Also, when i get my install, i had to cut my bolts off because they had rusted so badly.

Its not bad at all and at highway speeds barely noticeable. One of the bolts broke off, the rest came out easy.

I have the same exhaust and I don't mind how big they are EXCEPT that I always have to be careful when backing into a parking space that has a curb or stop, and I have to drive out of my driveway at an angle otherwise the bottom of the exhaust tip will scrape. One time, the exhaust can went over the stall curb and I got out of the stall by driving forward while the exhaust can scraped up and over the stall curb.

Hence, I really want to adjust the exhaust hanger so that I can push the exhaust all the up to the top of the exhaust cutout.
