So about 500 miles ago I finally got my Pacesetter Armor Coated LT's and Y pipe on my 95' LT1 Z-28. What do you know every time I even get on it a little the headers bang up and down on the floor pan.

I took the car over to my local exhaust shop, the owner has several performance cars of his own, he said without taking the headers off, or using a shorter motor mount, there is no way to remedy the problem.

So I have 2 Questions. A) Has anyone else had this problem and B) What the heck do I do about it?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

tranny mount and motor mounts. replace them. I'd start with the tranny mount as its easy to do.

I had a piece of rod welded onto the top of mine, sorta shaped like a half rectangle. It was snug up against the floorboard. I then took a piece of hose and slid it onto the rod, wedged nice and snug between the floorboard. Worked great.

Everything that the others said will work.... You can also take a hanger and thread it thru a piece of hose and wedge that in there and wrap and secure it around the pipe

Mine only hit on the driver side floor where there is a brace that runs the width of the car there.
Flattened it out with a hammer and header wrapped it because it ran close to the fuel lines.

Ascastil i think i may try that, though i'm not sure if i can pull that off without unbolting them which sucks!

Spcearle won't the hose melt if it's between the header and floor pan, i thought about that but figured it would just melt.

I had the same problem with the exat same set up, very very annoying, ended up pulling the Y and piping up some straight pipes with 90's shot out under the rockers.
Now life is good
