Default Exhaust Nightmare!

Hey guys, so im having some serious problems this time and any advice will help! Earlier this week I finally installed my TST integrated smoked taillight and my Vance & Hines CS ONE exhaust. The problem is the tail lights rests on the exhaust and melts....bad. Here are a few pictures. It looks amazing and I dont want to have to give up on this look due to the meltage. Does anyone know how I could drop the exhaust maybe? Heat tape? Spray on heat sheild? Anything???!!! The worst part is if i resort back to the fender eliminator tail light there is just a big hole cut for the integrated!

Oof - sorry to hear about the problems. My TST cleared luckily. But you CAN lower the exhaust some. I'm not exactly sure how to do it...

lucky you...and thanks for the input. I tried taking off the bolts under the rear seat cowl that hold the exhaust but it still doesnt budge. You think there would be a set of brackets to drop it like an inch available?

I remember someone putting a washer on with the tailight and it raised it just a hair but enough to where it wasnt touching though.
