Default How can I get my Pacesetter to not RATTLE!?

After my head cam swap I can't get my damn exhaust to quit rattling! I can't see exactly where it's hitting it sounds and feels like it's hitting my subframe. Anyone else having this same problem? Any suggestions on getting this right?

Is it the new pacesetter design or the old ones? You have to find where it's hitting in order to fix it. Are you sure it's not your y-pipe? If it's your Y-pipe, they are plenty of threads about the rattle.

^ Motor mounts or grind a notch in the K member.

Thanks for all the input. I'd never seen that Y pipe bump stop before I may have to try that route if I can't get it to stop hitting. I guess I'll just try and play with it this weekend.
