longtube hitting Is anyone else on here having trouble with their PaceSetter true dual set up hitting the underside of the drivers seat. I was runnin eibach sportlines but have since raised my 95 up with some slps helped all little. any recommendations?? or opinions to ease the pounding of my floor board?
?
? I dont think the springs make a difference unless its hitting the ground. A new motor mount might help. I have also hear the y-pipes dont fit very good either and bang the floor wich requires cutting and rewelding

thought the springs would distance the body with the raise didnt much if any at all. i was thinking of crushing the exhaust pipe down but dont know what effects the restriction willl make. should i bang at the floor pan any ??

I had the same problem. New mounts can actually raise the motor/Trans higher and bring the exaust closer to the floor. Make sure someone has not added a spacer under the trans.mount. I took my y pipe off, made 2 small cuts in the floor support, pounded up the support for clearance then rewelded the cuts and ground off the excess. Looks like it was built that way. Protect the fuel lines before welding in that area.

well thanks guys for the info. sounds like the motor mounts are the next step. i want to avoid cutting or hammering into the body if i can. the cushion idea was also good just didnt know what to put between there , thanks pyro. here we go again. the mounts shouldnt be too hard to put on right ..>?
I had mine custom built from my headers to my Catback and I ONLY hear it when I WOT! And its not even a rattle, its just the sound of pipe sitting on the body...
theres about 3 things you can do to solve this...Mine was doing theEXACT same thing...you can take it to a muffler shop and have them crimp the pipe right there so you have more clearance with it, you can get solid mounts, or you can get a peice of heat wrap like you wrap headers with and roll up a piece, pry your y pipe down some and wedge it in there...it will vibrate a little but the knocking n **** will stop..sorry about the book lol

I cut that piece along both sides of pipe and then beat it flat. another option is to cut it out then invert and weld it back in. I dont know how much it affects the sturctual strength. I have SFC so I hope that helps it some. Then I used header wrap to wrap the fuel lines since they're less than an inch away. Been like that for 1.5 with no problems.
I have had this problem on both of my f-body's. both times I was using a ORY. I cut a piece of radiator hose and screwed it up in the place where the Y pipe hit on my LS1 car, on my LT1 car the noise went away when I put on my dual exhaust
