Modify Forward Exhaust Clearance?

Do you know what work the previous owners had done to the car or are you the original owner? I suspect that this piece of the exhaust system has already been replaced from the original and putting in a new pipe section or modifying the one that is there will cure it. You also may be able to loosen or add clamps holding the exhaust in place to shift its position without any welding.

I I forgot to mention it has been installed Flowmaster Exhaust, so actually what I want to do is rearrange the pipes so one is not lower then the other. So the chance of preserving original exhaust has crossed deeper into non-purist. Besides the previous muffler blow out.

One pipe is lower then the other, in a vertical/diagonal stack (so it almost looks like a Y, my bad). I forgot that a Flowmaster system was installed so right now I am look into why the pipes are not lined up. On another note The car still has the original style muffler which makes it look like a Y system.
