Jet hot long tube and Y pipe install. Banging Floor Boards
I installed my long tubes Friday and have been fighting this all weekend. First it the y pipe was hitting the floor on the subframe. I took the Y pipe all back apart and re-adjusted it to get more clearance. Then the header was up against the k member on the drivers side so I had to use a hacksaw and cut around it and grind it down with a carbide bit. Now under harder the normal acceleration it is banging and vibrating against the floor somewhere. I've had it on the lift again and cannot find the exact problem area. Any suggestions? Anybody else install Jethots and have similiar problems? Polly Tranny mount?

I don't have polly mounts and I only have about a finger space between the pipe and subframe.

It's more than likely hitting the little hump right below the drivers seat. We placed two layers or heater hose between the y-pipe and the floorboard to stop the banging on my car.
