its touching the frame all the time or hitting it under load?
touching all the time means you need to have it fixed by a shop...maybe notch it for clearance.
hitting under load needs poly motor mounts or the mufflex bracket that i think Thunder sells.

yeah the hooker y pipe that they make now has the indents in it already. it was rubbing under a load. poly motor mounts are already in 
i ended up loosening all the clamps and pounding it back so i could work with it then i stuck pry bar in the groove on th flange and pounded it so it would turn. stuck pry bar between car and pipe pulled down tightened clamps now i got like a half inch of clearance! seems to work great now. hope i don't scrape anywhere since its lowered 1.2 inches lol
