Default y pipe rattles

does anybody have a solution to stop my y-pipe from rattling against the body? i took it to a muffler shop and the guy told me i shouldnt weld a bracket to it b/c it can break the header...any other suggestions???

do a search for "ypipe banging" there are lots of threads that address this. Fyi lots of people have had luck adding poly motor mounts to cure the banging.

mufflex makes a clamp that has a rubber bump on it to prevent the metal pipe from hitting your car. I bought one but when I installed my ORY pipe I welded it well enough to keep it farther away from the car, not to mention the M6 swap helped it a lot too )
