Or you could just weld a valve spring to the top of the pipe between the pipe and the body. Costs all of $0.50 worth of welding rod and a junk spring.

But hey, that $40 solution looks cool.

the bump stop thing from thunder doesnt work... well it didnt for me, it may for some.

I put poly's in and still had banging! I had VERY little clearance between the headers and the floorboard.

Some thick heater hose and a hose clamp and all is quiet
