Default exhaust danger? sittin too low :/

check it out and give your input on how to fix it. My x-pipe is sittin way too low. And the other pics are the bolts on the header/x-pipe.

should I change the bolts? I tightened em because of a leak and the crap bent...
left side...

right side...

both- right and left


what ya'll think? I feel like the bolts trip is too much, hahaha but idk
My main concern is the x-pipe being too low.

I just put a jack under the x part and jack it up before i tighten everything. Mine is tucked away after I did that. Before it would hang really low.

Like everyone else said but you have to get the correct nuts on your manifolds. Don't use a washer you need to get the nuts that have a larger flange on them. All auto parts stores have them they are called exhaust nuts
