Yep I put one on works great for me. My Y was hitting big time just under my seat retardeing the engine.
juts have to find the right spot to put it and if it starts to move on you a little it might need to be spot welded.

I was thinking of getting this too but on my car it seems the collector is closer to the floorboard than the Y, hell I cant even get a finger between the collector my hand fits between the Y. Could this "bump stop" be used for this too?

Thats pritty close but you might me able to put 2 or more, on one for each side that would be worth a shot IMO. other wise you need to bash your floor board in or change your exhaust.

Or poly mounts is a good way to go.

im thinking about buying it also.....after i installed my LT's the y-pipe has been banging like crazy on the floorboard right underneath me. Actually i cut a piece or radiator hose once and stuffed it in between it. It worked for a couple weeks but eventually fell out....

Motor mounts....i know that is prolly not what you want to hear but if you continue to mod your car, cam? it will be even worse. My motor mounts were one of the best things i did. Even with my cam, the motor doesn't move. Its well worth it in my opinion, just my .02

I have poly mounts on my cammed car and the engine barely moves. They were 50 bucks and were easy to put in when I did my headers. Why anyone does headers and not poly mounts is beyond me. 99% of these banging Y pipe cases wouldn't exist if people did the mounts. So now you're going to spend 40 on a hanger when you could have done it right for 50 bucks? Do the mounts.
