Good job :) can u take side shot of car ...as for ur exhaust I would definitely fix that cos over time may damage something ,can u maybe use different length rubber mounts or bend the hangers just a little to get clearance.

I think if u remove it and bend the hanger on the exhaust a bit just by looking at the pic would be the easiest ..muffler shop could heat it up and do it proper unless u can give it a try.

Doing the zip ties as a temporary fix. I feel as if the vibration will just bend it back I don't even have an idea of how to bend it?

I took both rubber hangers off. After relocating the axle beam, my DC Sport kept rattling against the axle beam metal tab protrusion. This might fix your problem, instead of the hangers i used Hose clamps with a small piece of rubber to keep any rattling from happening.
