Default x-pipe fitment issue

Well I just had to get my x-pipes installed through a shop, to start it was pypes o/r x-pipe. The pipes coming from the exhaust manifolds were too long and had to be cut, then there was an issue with the flange connecting with the passenger side pipe. this is when I took it to the shop they cut it and had to force fit the passenger side muffler into the x pipe, mainly because the previous owner had weld in flow masters and thy used straight pipes so its at an angle, well its installed and there are no leaks but now because the passenger side muffler pipe is at an angle its rubbing on my rear upper control arm when I go over bumps and get in and out of the car. Are there any cheap solutions I could attempt, aside from cutting the flows straight pipe and welding in a new curved pipe to accommodate the angle? thanks guys btw sounds sweet
