Y-pipe was hitting my driveshaft loop mount. I used Bobbyd's fix, and no banging or rattle anymore. Thanks

The car sounds awesome with the headers, ory and lm1 cat back!!!

If you think the LM1 sounds good with an ORY then the banging y pipe should be music to your ears.

I took it to the muffler shop. They cut the piece on the left side and put it in a machine and "squished" it into a "D" shape. No banging and it was cheap, like $15.

Poly motor mounts will fix the banging, or run solids and never have a issue.

I had the mufflex bumptsop hanger which didn't really help, and it eventually enlarged the hole the little 10mm bolt it uses went into.

I switched to poly motor mounts without the muflex hanger and it does not bang with acceleration anymore.

byunspeed.com. Prothane Poly Motor Mounts, $49.95, your choice of red or black. Young there is a really good guy. Talk to him. Plus if you spend over $99 you get free shipping. So if there's something else you've been looking at, that maybe the place to pick it up.
