Default Exhaust hitting sway bar.. help

there anything that I can use to pull up the exhaust pipe so it wont hit the sway bar? its rattling big time. Id typically call out my team of Zip ties. but im afraid they will melt. and duct tape just wont do. haha. but yeah there anything I can use? Besides the pipe clamps since I dont have time to wait. Needs to be done like asap and needs to last at least a week. But after that I can get the permanent stuff. But ill be driving for about 2 hours strait this weekend so I need something that will last.

i had the same problem with my setup... it would only rattle during a certain rpm though. some tghings you could do are: buy shorter exhaust hangers/make some, strap a piece of rubber on your sway bar or you could just take the sway bar out. i actually had to take out my rear sway when installing my suspension. i havent had the time to put it back in and i've been driving without a rear sway for a couple months. not a big deal.

I could but the thing is I just got it and I have it because I was having a problem with oversteer when I do canyon runs up near glendale. It only seems to happen when im going on the downhill road but still. I really need it. and it did help a lot. I tried it out on an offramp haha. But. I could try a piece of rubber. Ill stop by autozone and see if they have anything till I can get new pipe hangers installed.

is there a heat shield on your exhaust? if so cut it off.

Ahahhh. You're doing canyon runs so... you get no advice from me. Take it on the track or take off.

btw, I found a way to fix it. I just hammered one of the mounts up some so the piping went up and the rattling went away for a bit. But it came back but much more faint. So ill just go back and hammer it up some more and it should fix it.
