Y-pipe hitting tunnel

Y-pipe hitting tunnel I've tried everything bump stop,transmission mount and prying it downwards but everytime i do that by putting a breakerbar behind it and wedging it against the ground (gains about an inch clearance) it's about a cm off the bolt hole for the y-pipe hanger!
i can post pics, i can't even get my little finger between the the end of the tunnel & merge collector!
Is there a hanger that drops lower than the stock one? I hear of y-pipes hitting the floor all the time but no suggestions to stop it hitting the tunnel.

When I had that problem with my last LS1 I wedged pieces of radiator hose between the spots it was banging. No, they never melted! Sometimes they would shake loose and Id have to jam another piece in. Thats just a temp fix so you can enjoy your car without the annoying bang. I always had an *** load of cut up radiator hose wedges in my trunk.

With cats had the original SLP cats swapped for Random Tech cats because i bottom'd out on a road hump & scraped a hole in one, so i don't know if these are a little longer & they're pushing the pipe back! if i undo the hanger bolt there is clearance, unless there's someway of adjusting the hanger by maybe drilling the bolt hole downwards?
