Rattling from y pipe (drivers side) I have the pace setter LT headers and tsp y pipe. There is an annoying and obnoxious banging noise coming from the drivers side. It occurs during certain rpm ranges. Iv'e located where it is coming from, but how should i go about fixing it???? It is the y pipe on the drivers side. I was figuring i could wedge something in there or something that can resist high temps. ANY SUGGESTIONS???? THANKS
Your options are to either pinch the piping (find a clap that'll do it... air hammer will work too), knotch the frame there (nice 10lb hammer works there too), get a new Y pipe, or get some Poly motor mounts...

You might be able to pull a hanger down as well. Yeah the rubber idea is not the best in the book that is for sure. I was just tossing out another alternative. But you pretty much hit most of the better options.

Poly motor mounts FTW! Make the car feel so much sportier and all the drive train slack is picked up... much nicer
