   not sure i get what you mean , do you mean put the cable ties round the rubber mount to squeeze it up and in turn raise the back box?????????

    U are a fool if you even contemaplte sing cable ties as a solution lol!
    
    as i said the metal can be bent upwards. or use proper rubbers NOT ties. Only way to really shorten oe rubbers are with metaljubilie clips

    I wouldn't trust cable ties to hold my exhaust on persoanlly.
    
    Just bend the brackets up or use cable ties to squash the mounts up.

    thats what i meant by a combi of the ties and old rubbers to squeeze them up a bit but i will also bend the mounting bracket up too.
