Default ORY Hitting Floorboard!

What should I put in between the floor board and the ORY because it keeps banging the floor, it practly rests on the floorboard, and there is no more room for adj. I was thinking about some sort of rubber, but it might melt.. Any suggestions.

An old valvespring.....

You could remove it and do a little pipe/floorboard bashing.

You would look somthing like this....

I used heater hose held on by a huge hose clamp.

Cut a length of the hose run the hose clamp through without closing it, wrap around the y-pipe just under the driver's side floor board and sandwich it between the floor board and exhaust pipe. Then slide the hose clamp together and screw it closed until tight enough not to move around. Viola' instant bump stop mod...

Or buy the Mufflex bump stop from a sponsor for about $45---->

Another thing you could do i swap to poly motor mounts.It usually stops the banging as well.

I have this problem too. Poly mounts are sitting at home waiting to go in this week. I'll post after they are in with my thoughts.

I wouldn't put anything between it because you will always have some vibration or weird noise at that spot. Flattening the pipe a little at that spot won't hurt a thing and that's the route I would take. Also, like the others said install poly mounts. But if the pipe is always resting against the floor, poly mounts won't fix it.

Actually I have not expereinced any more vibration per se, since all of it is transfered into the car one way or another. The hose actually does help to dampen though... *shrug*

I agree the all around best method though is Poly motor mounts!

Ya, it sounds great, and loud with the LM. Thanks again for helping me install them yesterday, I never would have solved the minor problems we ran into without being at your machine shop. The bang is pretty loud though. I thought about mabie putting some garden hose inbetween it. I don't know. My moms gonna kill me though, I told her last night i fixed my clogged cat problems. I can't wait to pull up next weekend and see her face

Oh, where is aaa??
