Default Magnaflow X-Pipe U-bolts

I've installed a Magnaflow X-pipe (connects up with Corsa Indy's) and I've noticed that the u-bolt ends (supplied with X-pipe, connects it with pipes from cats) hang down pretty far under the car. In fact, they appear to be about the lowest thing on the undercarriage at this point. Has anybody noticed this, and/or had any scraping going over speed bumps, exiting driveways? The car is at stock height.

I rotated mine up out of the way and tightened them.

I had that setup initially. You can loosen them and rotate them out of the way and re-tighten. Or you can do what I did and get a set of 2" wide / 2.5" diam. band clamps and replace them.
