Muffler Clearance / mounting angle?

So I am in the process of setting up my magnaflow 3" catback and curious as to how much ground clearance I should have under the muffler? Also what angle are you guys mounting it at? Parallel with the ground or on a angle?

Mine is mounted at an angle just like the stock muffler was. You can only really tuck it up so far til you either hit the heatshield or your tail pipe on the drivers side will hit the inlet pipe. I put everything together and left it loose until i adjusted everything right where i wanted it, then i started tightening up clamps one by one. Then i went back a day od two later and made a few minor adjustments.
