Sh#$ man I got the hanger from the same place and it only helped for a little bit, Now i think I'm gonna start putting exhaust wrap on sections where I think it's banging!!! the shop that made the ypipe just last weekend lowered the pipe about another 1/4to 1/2 an inch from the driverside frame rail where most ypipes bang and still bangs when I get on it from a hard launch, so that makes me think that it is further down stream on the drivers side. But the weather has been junk here in Chicago!!! and haven't been able to get down and dirty!! drivin me frickin nuts!!

Most likely its hitting on the driver side. I had to same problem. I tried the mufflex bump stop and it didnt work. TSP True Duals fixed mine.

I had the same problem where it was banging under acceleration on the driver's side. I just loosened up all the u-clamp bolts and then bought a bunch of wood wedges. I hammered a **** ton of the wedges between the underside of the car and the top of the driver's side y-pipe and then tightened the **** out of all the u-clamp bolts. Next I took the wedges out and the pipe was a good 1/2" lower than it was before. I also installed a poly driver's side motor mount to stop the motor from twisting so much under load. It's all good now...no bangin!
