Default Alignment problem on Z-06 catback

I need some help AGAIN. I just instslled a Z-06 catback on my 98 coupe, and the left muffler hangs down alot lower then the right, any idea how I can get it up higher to match the other side. I won't use heat so what can I do. Thanks guys and ladies for your help again.

if'n i recall correctly, there are two slots on the rubber insulator the mufflers hang from. Maybe ya got one in the wrong slot (stock was the lower slot, i believe)

A quick update on my exhaust, I loosened up the pipes and wiggled em around, tightened everything checked it and did it all over again and once more after that. On the third try I checked them and it looked real good. Thanks for everyones help it worked out and looks GOOD.
