Default B&B Bullets melting edge of bumper.. how do I adjust the exhaust?

I bought a c5z, had it for about a month and noticed the edge of the bumper is slightly touching the B&B Bullet exhaust system on the left side pipe. How can the exhaust system be adjusted? The left pair of tips are sticking slightly further out than the right pair.

Loosen up the over-axle bolts and intermediate pipes to rotate the exhaust tips lower.

Poke your head under your car, do some RECON and use your common sense if so equipped.. It's simple.

I am an engineer so I'm pretty sure I can figure it out, was just looking for some pointers that would possibly help me fix the problem faster. Why would you even waste the time to post a response like that to a thread asking for advice?

Depending how old your BB system is.

A few years back, BB had problems with the tab
(that slides into the rubber part of rear pipe hanger) breaking off & having to be re welded.

Look to see if both tabs are still straight & not broken.

If they are fine.
Go with what the first response mentioned.
Once you have loosened the mentioned parts/clamps, nuts, bolts.

Use a floor jack with a two x four (that is long enough to go under all four tips)
Get the tips up & even/horizontal.
Once you have the tips where you want them..... re- tighten every thing you loosened.
