Is there any way to put in another exhaust mount to hoist up the CAT section a bit?

In my old work my floor used to hit the bumps they were that big, ended up pulling my battery cable off.
I hate them and my wing is now a little mis-shaped from being smacked, I go sooo slowly over them, have been overtaken a few times on them.
The ones I hate most though are the ones that are plastic and quite tall but realy short. So its like hitting a curb. Dont like those one little bit.

Never had any bother with the engine end, but bumps go straight for my CAT (it is hanging about two inches off the ground, mind, but still).
Is there any way to put in another exhaust mount to hoist up the CAT section a bit?
I have the same problem, mine has a lil pipe that sticks out of it too, which makes it even closer to the ground =[
I dont know what that lil pipe does but i dont want to have to try and fix it once it ripped off!!
I hate the buggers!

One time I hit a really bad pot hole and the fuel cut off switch kicked in. At the time I didn't know there was a button to reset it so I was stuck there.

However when i drove in in my mini, i can't even go that way, even at walking pace, the silencer would scrape as they are so aggressively shaped. I have to go another way round a one-way system that's always chock-a-block at 9am

And that was before my mini has been lowered, i dread to think what it would do once the rear is lowered
