Default Exhaust Pipe Bent....help

so my girlfriend rear ended me a couple days ago and hit my trailer hitch, so it didn't do anything, except it bent one of my exhaust pipes down. How can i bend it back up so tis flush with the other one?

ha.....Its got like a Rod welded to the side than runs up to a clamp like thing and that is bolted to the frame.

edit: Should i just bend the other one down a little to? I mean i am a bit worried about the exhaust possibly melting the paint on the bumper.
