exhaust cushion help!!

[Si3]

*if this is in the wrong section, please move it*

ever since i caught my magnaflow exhaust on a curb its been making a ratteling noise on hard left turns. so i went under the car shook the exhuast and found where its hitting.

now the hard part, what can i put on my pipe (on the bend right before muffler) in order to have it not make the banging noise? i though some kind of cushion tape, but after thinking of the intense heat of the exhaust pipe, i figured that would not be a good solution.

so what can i put on the pipe to prevent the banging noise and it has to stand up to intense heat.

thanks in advance!

well what is banging what? is exhaust hitting swaybar? exhaust hitting something else? what kind of exhaust hangers are you running?

Sounds like you may have just bent a hanger....If that's the case just heat it up with a torch and bend it back :)

my HKS was hitting my sway bar so I wrapped a piece of leather around the sway w/zip-ties and that fixed it

i had the same problem, i used heat insulation tape and wraped a little bit of it around the bar it was hitting, it stopped the rattle noise and i check it everytime i stop to see if it melted or burnt away, but so far it's been ok.
