Default LS1 motor TQ Strap, who sells one, Help!

I want to put a TQ strap on my 01 SS,
I have FLP long tubes and Y pipe,
Even after some tweeking and adjustments the y-pipe is banging the floor when a medium to hard take off is done.

there is not much i can do , the clamp is actualy hitting the floor when the motor torques up,
I think a nice TQ strap will do the trick,

Who sells what i need?,
and other ideas?
Thank you for your help

Thats an idea..I was going to put poly engine mounts in due to a bit of banging when floored, but this may work..alot easier. I am sure you can pick up straps anywhere..just need the right length.

Try flex couplers behind the header in the front of the y-pipe. Use some 3inch slip on flex couplers. Secondly add an extra hotrod style hanger on the y-pipe right under the drivers seat. It will fix your bang without all of the drama and the polymounts that make the car a bit more obnxious to drive.

Called my local Speed Shop and they have 12 different sizes/lengths/types of straps. Can get cable or metal strap type also.
