Default Rubbing from my ORY driving me crazy!

So I put a Kooks ORY on my Kooks Lt's and a hooker cat-back. The headers already fit great but the Y pipe fits almost too good. Where the Y-pipe meets the Hooker I pipe there is like no clearance to the tunnel. Everything is tucked up really tight, I was going to snap some pictures but it just started pouring outside. I have a big cam and my motor likes to move around a good bit, and now the pipe is rubbing on the tunnel and it keeps vibrating its driving me insane. I "massaged" the area a little bit and it helped it somewhat but after a little driving it was back to rubbing. Anyone else have this problem? It's not like my Y is banging my floorboards on either side. Just the tunnel. I also don't have the Y-pipe bracket on that attaches around the crossmember. Would this help alleviate some of the racket?

for sure get the y pipe hangar back on. it should help stop the y pipe from moving around as much. Also is the car on stock motor mounts?

I searched around here and found a picture of a guy who used a 3.5" hose clamp and a rubber exhaust hanger here's the link.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ght=pipe+rub+y do you think this will work. Will the rubber melt on the pipe at all?
