Default my exhaust is rattling against my gas tank =/

sup i have a 93 hatchie with a gsr exhaust...i got it welded/cut and it doesnt fit right!
no matter how slow or fast im going all i hear is this *bump-bump-bump-bump* and its making me crazy cuz its so annoying
any suggestions on how i can deaden the sound?
what about dynamats? can they stay on even with extreme heat coming from the exhaust?
my clearance is about a 1/4 inch from my gas tank to the exhaust...
thnx


edit: no its not angled...theyre all hooked on the hooks

Why don't you just pay some muffler shop twenty bucks to have him heat the pipe and bend it out of the way.

try a different shop then. you need to cut and weld it so it doesnt do that.

they exhaust is already cut and welded from bpipe to axle back...he didnt recommend bending the axle back pipe or else the distortion wouldnt be good for the exhaust flow

I have a question, why would you have to modify an exhaust that's made for your car? *scratch head*

no he said he has a eg hatch with an exhaust made for a teg gsr, that is why he had to get it modified. I was thinking maybe sell the exhaust you got now and temporary run open header then when you get the funds get a custom setup... Dunno really

i had the same prob. i just got some longer hangers from the local auto store and beat in my gas tank enough to stop if from rubbing. its way ghetto but if you are broke then i keeps your car from spontaniously combusting on the freeway.
