Have you considered getting a longer metal hanger installed, or having them cut one off and moving it higher up on the pipe/muffler? Should only be about $20 per hanger.

By rubber hanger, you mean the round bushing, right?
Does it bang from side to side on the bumper?
If it's worn out, it has lost it's rigidity, so get a new one.
Has it always been an issue? If it's a design issue and just too close, getting a new one probably won't solve your problem.
Stop by your local scrap yard and pick one off another vehicle.
Just bring your existing one as a reference and get one a bit longer. :idea:
