My way to possibly fit exhaust better, PICS INSIDE, please give advice!

OK my exhaust hangs REALLY low, below are a couple of pics,

First Question deals with the Y-Pipe. See where the Y-pipe goes under the inner fender. If jack up the car on the Y-pipe (Read next paragraph) can I weld a bracket like I drew onto the pipes, then bolt it to the inner area there to hold the front of the exhaust higher. will it put to much heat into the fender well or be good.

This was my body guys idea, my car has been jackey many times on the Y-pipe there, it does go up a lil, but doesnt "permanently" bend in that position He did start the car while jacked like that to see if it shifted it and caused a leak, it doesnt.




The next pic shows where the exhaust goes up over the rear, to raise the rear end of the exhaust higher can I take apart that clamp, cut the inner/lower pipe shorter so it slides up higher into the pipe that actually goes up over the rear.



In these next two you can see how low my exhaust is, remember my car is factory ride height and my exhaust is still that low. In the one where you can see the Y-Pipe, look about the Y-pipe and you'll see how much higher it can go.

hay first off your car is one of the most beutiful cars ever and is my inspration for some of my idea anywayz have you replaced your motor mounts ive heard that when the motor mounts go bad the engine will "sit back" a bit that could be causing your low hanging also i believe their is supposed to be a mount that attaches to the tail housing of your tranny and also attaches to youe exhust behind your cat an another thing is their is supposed to be an exhaust hanger holding your rear muffler setup to the car hope this helps just some ideas for you before you go fabracating some hangers and stuff if you have any questions please feel free to email me
