At that one spot it looks pretty low...you can try making some adjustments to make it tuck up a little better

Its not that low. I would just leave and drive it around. If it becomes a problem then you can make some adjustments.

ROFL @ Hand pic. Standard unit of measurement is a 12 oz pop/beer can. But yeah, it did look really low. When you can see the top of the pipe, it's low.

Well we can't really pass a judgement unless the rear is level on the ground, but from the distance between the floor and the pipe, it looks like it's going to be pretty low.

Some people can deal with it no problem though, so you might not need worry.

Sweetbone is correct about the 12oz can, it was on my "Measurements" lab in Chem 1301 as the standard unit of exhaust height.

Looks low to me, mine tucks nicely and looks to fit nearly the same as stock. I can't get pics right now as my car is torn apart.
