that will work or mufflex has some sort of other bracket you can buy to fix it, I have even heard of guys stuffing a rag inbetween it and solving...personally I kept procrastenating to fix the problem and it eventually stopped banging!!

Poly motor AND tranny mounts are a great idea for ANY performance car regardless or Y pipe. It will help prevent engine torquring. Also the Mufflex Y pipe hanger is a good idea. They are all pretty cheap and available from Thunder Racing.

If that doesn't fix it try relocating the Y pipe a bit. Usually brute force with the aid of a BFH and a oxi-acetylene tourch will do the trick.
