Have you looked to see how much slack you could take out of the hangers in the rear? Make sure that it will not pull it too close to the gas tank though.

My drivers side tip hanged low, the passenger side was perfect. I used a shorter rubber deal that go's on the hanger it pulled it up just fine.

I like the exhaust, but the tips just look like an ovalized Z28 tip. However, they look okay on a T/A.

i agree ^^^ on a T/A they match but to me Camaro's were supposed to have turndowns/ it just fits the design and the flow of the body more

I used a hose clamp on the driver's side hanger and a plastic spacer on the passengers side hanger to raise it up.

After two shops my tips FINALLY point correctly and are high enough..although I do get a rattle from time to time. I wonder if it is reverberating off of the shield over the tank........hmmmm
