ORY problem My buddie and I just got done installing LT's and ORY. Everything fits fine but under hard acceleration the ORY hits the bottom of the car under the driver. I have not heard about this prob. before and is irritating the hell out of me 
. It is about a quarter in. from the bottom of the car.
What about a radiator hose and hose clamps to absorb the impact?
Other than that, Pacesetter LT's and the Hooker cat-back combo are great, it is more quiet than my LM alone

i wrapped the area with header wrap so the rubber tube wouldnt melt, then used rubber tubing and a hose clamp and never had a problem since. That was 2 years ago, the tube hasnt even melted on me. 
That's what I did.... I sandwiched in a piece of radiator hose between the ORY and floorboard. Don't worry about the hose melting. Mine hasn't and it's been on since this past summer.

I'm not that worried about it, it will be fixed soon. Now that I know what to do.

Take the Y back off and beat the underbody(where it hits) with a mal. It wont hurt a thing. If the exhaust is touching the body it will transmit false knock, and pull timing. Ive been there.

I am installing my TSP offroad pipe tonight and it looks like I will be having the same problem. I guess I will do the radiator hose and clamps.
That Mufflex bracket looks pretty nice also, I might look into that if the hose doesn't work.

I am putting poly motor mounts on to fix my banging. I do not like the idea of a rubber hose. The engine wants to move and putting a piece of rubber between my y-pipe and the car is not really fixing the actual problem, its the motor mounts.
Think I may go ahead and order my mufflex bracket. The heater hose just isn't cutting it for me. Made it better but it still bangs a lot. Ill post about how the bracket turns out, although I may try and do motor mounts too. If I can find the time . . .
