Default my y-pipe is knocking

got a JET-HOT ORY and on a hard launch it hits the floorboard when traction control is on, but not when its turned off. I also have a MUFFLEX support bracket that is supposed to prevent this but it doesnt. So i'm curious is this just a traction control thing or what?

Where is it knocking? And is the bracket placed where it is knocking?

That makes sense to me. When traction control is on it is not a smooth cutback of power but rather abrupt causing the engine to move around alot. I am willing to bet you are running stock motor mounts. If so get'em off and get you some prothanes. It will tighten up the whole car and keep your exhaust from moving as much because the engine wont be moving as much.

One more thing. I see you have a 6 speed. I bet your stick moves when you get on the gas too. Motor mounts will take care of that.

Are motor mounts something I could do by myself, somewhat easily?
