I got the same problem, and it's new for me. I think ws6.com sells some kind of brace for them. I'm gonna have to look into it too.

Mufflex sells a bump stop. You can get it through thunder racing. It is a big deal also, IF the knock sensor picks up on the vibration it will retard timing and reduce your power.

I got rid of my y pipe and got the true duals. No more problems with that and I have a much better sounding and flowing exhaust.

My bad. You can find it at the WS6 store. It's called a bump stop hanger. 40 bucks. I wonder if anybody has tried it out yet.

I couldn't get the bumpstop hanger to work for me. I made my own with a rubber hanger and a stainless clamp from autozone. Never had an issue.
