bbk headers rubbing

bbk headers rubbing
just finished my build. (installed everything in the sig at the same time...car is a totally different car )
anyways, i installed the BBK LT's and ypipe. but the passenger header is hitting the bottom of the car right where it bolts up to the ypipe. also, i have a bmr driveshaft loop, and the y pipe is actually resting on the brace.
any one else have these issues? how do i go about fixing this problem? im afraid it's causing false knock.

I used a floor jack and a BFH to clearance the floor pan and heat shield on that side.. the floor pans are thin metal an will clearance easy... wasnt too hard to do..

as for the ypipe resting on the driveshaft loop, do i just need to weld an exhaust hanger on the car and hang it up?

it has a dip in it where the exhaust should go through. but i dont have an exhaust hanger in the middle so it is resting on the brace. is there supposed to be a stock exhaust hanger on the body where the y pipe hangs from? the bbk ypipe came with a hanger welded on the pipe, but the car has no hanger there. ...?

I havent had the problem at all & havent heard nothing about this until now. The OPs car is missing the mount for the Y pipe that bolts to the trans thats the problem.

it sounds like he is referring to the header it self. i had to remove the header to BFH the floor.
thanks for the reply about the hanger flint, i tried finding the stock hanger but couldn't, so i got out the welder and added a new one. now it fits perfect and im not getting my knock sensor code any more so i was obviously just false due to the exhaust hitting.
