Default skunk2 exhaust rattles...please help

alrighty guys.....I have an ebay header and high flow cat.....and a full skunk2 exhaust....using the stock mounts it rubbed up on the bottom of the trunk and rattled when it wore through the rubber undercoat. So I made new hanger mounts for it that positioned it a little better. Now it only rattles at 2000 rpm when I am decelerating only. Every time it starts to rattel again I just beat in the section I can see it hittin on the bottom of my trunk and then it jsut wears through somewhere new. This is gettin really annoying can someone please help. Has anyone else had problems with their skunk2 catbacks?

Has your car been wrecked or anything? Or maybe your rubber hangers are different sizes......

It's definitely not hitting your LCAs, forcing it into the underbody??

yeah it is gettin forced into the underbody. So I made a new hanger for it that allows it to hang as low as possible without hittin the LCA but then it sat left too much. So I messed with the hanger right by the fart can and had to grind on the sway bar mounting bracket to get it to not hit that. This is really annoying. Maybe I got a bunk one and should call up skunk2? No it hasn't been wrecked and frame is totally straight. thanx

I ground that part off and it isn't hitting there anymore.....i also put a small hoseclamp on the hanger that doesn't allow the exhaust to move that way...it kinda sucks it up more toward the passenger side. I dunno.......this is gay and we should all contact skunk2
