Buy the Mufflex.
Get under your car and see where it is hitting (mine was my Spohn adj. TA). Use a pry bar on your y-pipe to put an inch or so clearance at the point where the y-pipe hits your car.
The slide a rubber exhaust hanger in to maintain the clearance while you install your Mufflex clamp. When the clamp is secure remove the exhaust hanger rubber.
Worked like a charm on my car and a lot easier than installing poly motor mounts once your headers are on.

Well, I tried the heater hose but it seems to vibrate even more! It didnt bang as much btu a Ifelt halla vibraion under even mild acceleration. I guess I should have doen it right and just goen with the poly mounts.

do it like 4 times around the area that is bangin but if it vibrates really bad did you notch your k member? cuz that might have something to do with it.... my guess is that that header is riding right up next to it
I had the same prob and I acually had a frind that worked for Doctor Gas they make nascar exhaust and they have a neat frame clearence pipe and I put it in and now they are gunna make a custom y for anyone that is guarenteed not to hit and flows better than a reg 3 inch it useds 4 in but pressure crushed and it looks good too and sounds great.
I had problems with my QTP Y banging and hanging low.
What I did was this:
Jacked the exhaust up to about where I wanted it to sit.
Measured the distance from the Y-pipe to the floor.
Then I went to Maaco and for $11 I had a J-hook welded to a U-clamp.
(That included the hook, clamp and welding.)
The J-hook was bolted to the bottom of the floorboard and the U-clamp was put around the Y.
I will post pics up if you want to illustrate exactly what I'm talking about because I'm sure this is confusing as hell.
This solved the banging and the hanging low issues.
Poly mounts will probably solve the banging but won't fix hanging low.

One other thing I know alot of people are saying poly mounts and U bolt it to the floor bouard but unless you like to feel every vibration in your car those 2 solutions do just that I know I spent a week, and had it changed 10 times to come up with a solution that worked and I dont have to ever replace a mount, hanger, heater hose, or have to feel the vibrations cause I tried that and it sucked
