Default header problems

My pacesetter LTs seem to be hiting multiple thing underneath my car. My right header is rattleing against the liitle gaurd underneath the car and my y pipe the part where its indented is hitin the bottom of the car to. It only does this when i step on it. I also noticed my y-pipe is really close to my fuel and brake lines. Do any of you guys have this problem with pacesetters LT? Is it normal for my y-pipe to be that close to fuell and brake lines. I'll have pics up soon

You can hammer-mod the Y-pipe to get it away from the Lines.
That Guard on the right can be removed as well.. it's for the Cat.

Look into new Motor Mounts, that may be what's causing it.

Go with the prothane mounts here:

http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/7-508/10002/-1

They will raise the motor up slightly and also stifen everything up a little. The only thing you are gonna have to do is drill out the clamshells to put the new ones in, but they will have all the instructions (very easy). Let me know if you have any questions as I just did this about 6 months ago on mine.
