Hooker Y banging fix?
It's kinda simple, 5-6' header heat wrap a big clamp & some green emission tube hose.
Under the drivers seat (where it's prolly banging) the spot were it is hitting, wrap the heat wrap around.
Put 4-5" section of hose on clamp & use it to pad pipe from floor & to retain heat wrap.

I don't have any links, but can offer my own experience. I see you have a Hooker ORY which is probably banging near the bend on the driver's side. Go to your local hardware store and buy those black, long rubber strechy things that you can insert hooks at the ends so you can hold stuff down in the back of a truck. I don't know what they're called and that's the best explanation I can give of them. Locate exactly where your Y-pipe is banging. You'll just need to cut a couple of 2" pieces of rubber and JB weld it to the floor board right where the pipe is banging. This should cure your banging Y-pipe.

Just try it out and see how it works for you. If you don't like it, you've only wasted about $5 in supplies. LS1 Tech Stories

I have the same problem with FLP long tubes; they bang like hell!
I bought some aluminum screening for household windows at Home Depo. I rolled these into bunches and clamed them to the Y-pipes between the pipe and the floor boards using extra large hose clamps....it works... ...no problem with burning the rubber hoses if you use aluminium screening instead...
