Y-Pipe Hitting Car

I just finished installing a Bassani Y-Pipe this weekend. Sometimes, from a stop, it will bang the underside of the car when the engine torques a bit. To keep it from happening, you have to pull out from a stop perfectly (M6). I'm assuming that this is the reason the stock pipe is flat in this location. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, any suggestions on fixing it? If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Both of these gentlemen are correct. I've been told if you do the poly's you won't need the bumpstop, but we installed both on a buddy's Z28 and there is definitely no Y-pipe movement.
