Low Hanging Exhaust 700 1986

The exhaust on my brick hangs really low and I'm constantly banging it off the road. To make matters worse my car has the common rear spring sag, so the exhaust is taking even more abuse than normal, as almost any little bump will compress the suspension enough to get it low enough to rub the road.

It seems to me that my front pipe (the pipe from the turbo to the cat) is sort of pointed in the wrong direction - the curve it takes to keep it close to the floor of the car points it sort of at the point on the road where the rear tires contact the road, instead of up straight across to the resonator.

Is it possible to bend this myself? Like with a torch? Is this advisable? Should I maybe just give up on it and get it done for me?

Has anyone else had problems with their exhaust hanging low? (Or possibly, wobbling to and fro? jk.)
