Default my header/cat is rattling against my NRG H-brace

Just as in the title, my header/exhaust on my ls vtec is rubbing against my h brace in low rpms. you can feel/hear it give a light rattle. everything is as tight as it can/is supposed to be.

is there anything i can wrap around the hbrace to stop the metal to metal rubbing? I was thinking electrical tape but i dont think it will take the heat of the exhaust and will just melt. what do you guys think?

you might be able to try that heat wrap people use for their headers...

I had the same problem, and thought of that same solution, but didn't end up doing it. I just ended up taking it to a muffler shop and they welding the header bracket up a little higher to give it more clearence off the H brace.

Is your car droped? is your H brace bent? perhaps you can just take it off and heat it up, bend it back striaght?
