Mine worked for awhile now it doesn't help at all. I'll have the pipe bent a little by a muffler shop.

Shove a piece of hose between the Y pipe and body wherever you think it may be hitting... If the noise stops the Y pipe is hitting. Hose shoved in there like that is a temp fix but its a cheap way to see if the Y pipe is banging or not without spending a bunch of cash on something you may not need.

Mine was hitting too, it stoped after I bought the Pace ypipe in conjunction with the hanger and it very rarely bangs, and if it does it is very little.
When I put my Pace ypipe on I carefully put a pry bar between the pipe and the body right before I band clamped it so I can get the maximum clearance. Then I put the mufflex hanger. Did I explain my self ok?

Do the motor mounts!! Consider it a labor of love, a trial by fire, a rite of passage...in the end it's worth it, but it definately sucks to go through it.

Is it a bang or a rattle? If its the rattle like mine, then more than likely its the tunnel brace at least I think that's what it's called. Mines rattling because it sits like a 1/4" below where the Y and the catback meet. I'm going to bend it up so it pushes up on the exhaust hard. That worked the east time before I had headers.
