Default Exhaust banging off of crossmember

what can I use to wrap around the exhaust pipe to help keep the exhaust from banging off the crossmember and possibly causing knock? would heat wrap work?

shove an old brake pad in between em. It will keep pressure on both so they wont move and it won't melt, either.

As was suggested by others on here in previous threads i used a piece of heater hose.Get a short piece of 1" heater hose and slit it lenghwise-it will fold over the pipe and wedge between the pipe and floor.

Y'all do a search on bump stop and you'll find out there are 2 kinds. 1 for the TB and 1 for the exaust. I can't remember who I bought mine from but they make a hanger just for that pesky rattlin bitch.
