Exhaust hitting floorboard??
I just got a custom Y pipe built for my car and it is hitting under the driver side when I take off in 1st gear or get on it. What can I put between pipe and the car to make it not rattle. I wedged a shop rag in there for now, but I am looking for something heat resistant to put there. I was thinking about a high heat rubber spacer or something like that. I already tried heating it up and bending it down some. That didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can use?

mind use to do this, u need to get under there and just make adjustments to the exhaust and maybe try moving the hangers around that might fix the problem also

I believe Texas Speed Shop has a y-pipe hanger that is about $50 dollars that is made to fix the problem. I had that problem with mine and just adjusted it, but worst case scenario there is a hanger to fix it.

In addition to the methods listed above, the following work to varying degrees:
1. Poly motor mounts
2. Welding a valve spring in between
3. Heater hose

I also learned that bc of the bangin my ls1 was bein "retarted". It was setitn off the whole knock sensor deal. After i got it fixed and drove it around, Wow thats what the ol ls1 use too feel like
Big difference, almost like another car
